In this way the children lose their shyness towards the beautiful animals and with their help reestablish the contact to their surroundings.

These positive impulses lead to an amazing progress in the children’s development which has endless positive consequences.

Dolphin therapy does not claim to cure diseases. Nevertheless, research has shown that, by working with dolphins, disabled children are able to learn up to four times faster and more intensively.
