Dolphin Therapy

Over the last two decades, extensive research has been conducted on dolphins and the positive effects they appear to have on people and it seems that swimming with dolphins can have a profound effect on alleviating many conditions including autism, cerebral palsy and other health issues.

Although there is no scientific proof that dolphins can aid humans with their illnesses there are many people who have experienced swimming with dolphins and one thing appears certain: Dolphins seem to trigger the healing process in people.

Some people reported effects include enhanced recovery in chronically and terminally ill people, pain reduction, and changes in blood chemistry. And this phenomena seems to work especially in children.

There are many theories about why dolphins evoke this healing response, although nothing has been clinically proved, some therapists believe the dolphins' use of sonar can help produce changes in body tissue and cell structure. Others believe the sound waves emitted by the dolphins in communication can help stimulate the healing process.

One thing seems to crop up again and again in studies and that is children react to being with the dolphins in an incredible way. The excitement of seeing these beautiful creatures has prompted many a child to utter their first words and it is this exciting experience we hope will aid William in a profound way.
