Guest guest Posted April 7, 2006 Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 Cathie, Yes, I know a couple of people who did it. They said the communication and the connection between the dolphin and the children was just phenomenal. It was as though the dolphin could actually feel what their child was feeling. They had a marvelous time, the children really enjoyed it and it was incredibly therapeutic. I have a feeling will be in her eliminate! Have fun.

Guest guest Posted April 23, 2006 Report Share Posted April 23, 2006 here are some pics from eirkas 5 day dolphin therapy expereince in Key Largo. it was great. her instructor was a special ed teacher, assisted by an OT.
