What is Dolphin Assisted Therapy Exactly?
CDTC offers an individualized two-week therapy program where personal interaction with dolphins sits at the core of the treatment. The patient is given the opportunity to interact with these highly trained dolphins while integrating customized therapy programs with specialists that are all leaders in their field. The program is designed for the treatment of patients, from 3 years and older, with wide range of special needs including Autism, ADHD and Cerebral Palsy, as well as people with physical and psychological conditions like Cancer, Depression and PTSD.
The dolphin therapy program is intended to work as a supplemental program alongside the patient’s traditional therapy received regularly at home. We recognize the crucial role that their families play in the process of rehabilitation. All become closely involved in the education and activities of the program and can observe their loved one's transformation right before their eyes. The program is provided in four languages: English, Dutch, German and Spanish. Same as above
