Get Familiar

Introductory Therapy Session

Not sure if the Dolphin Assisted Therapy Program is the right fit? Sign up for a 2 hour introductory session to get acquainted with our dolphin assisted therapy. This introductory session is available exclusively for people with special needs or psychological conditions.

Before the day of the session, we will have a brief intake to establish the approach.
On the day, you will participate in a full regular session:

  • Anamnesis
  • Half hour of conventional therapy in a private therapy room.
  • One hour of therapy assisted by the dolphin on the platform and in the water
  • Half hour training of daily living skills such as showering, changing, organizing
  • Session evaluation

During the evaluation, the person, parents or legal guardians will be informed about the session. How did it go? What conclusions can we draw? What are the possible benefits of a full program of dolphin assisted therapy at CDTC in the future?

Please contact us for availability!

  • Cost: US$ 450
