Welcome to the Curaçao Dolphin Therapy Center

Don't stop dreaming about your Dolphin Assisted Therapy!

The “Curaçao Dolphin Therapy & Research Center” (CDTC ) was founded in 2004, located on the Dutch Caribbean island of Curaçao. We offer an individualized two-week therapy program where personal interaction with dolphins and a team of qualified therapists sit at the core of the treatment. The patient is given the opportunity to interact with the dolphins while integrating a wide variety of therapy principles to create a customized therapy program for each participant.

The dolphin assisted therapy program is intended to work as a supplemental program alongside the patient’s traditional therapy received at home. We recognize the crucial role that their families play in the process of rehabilitation, involving the family in the activities of the program. A special sibling program is offered to brothers and sisters of the participants. And the therapist team offers a range of therapy related workshops for family members and caretakers. The program is provided in three languages: English, Dutch, and German. Find out more about our program: https://cdtc.info/about/the-concept/

Our therapists are qualified professionals from different types of occupations including, but not limited to, psychologists, physical therapists, speech therapists and occupational therapists. Each therapist receives a special training from us to be able to deliver dolphin assisted therapy on a high level. Meet our team: https://cdtc.info/about/our-team/

The therapy is conducted over a two-week period, both weeks on Monday thru Friday. You can find our therapy calendar for the dates of the periods here: https://cdtc.info/therapy-calendar/
