As the leading dolphin therapy facility in the world, it is of utmost importance that we remain at the forefront of the latest research and advancements in dolphin therapy. In an effort to support ongoing progress in the field, we regularly make our facilities available to research studies. It is our ambition to further demonstrate the benefits of dolphin assisted therapy within a scientific context, and to underline the role of our method in a therapeutic concept for individuals with special needs.
Please see the lists of published and ongoing research and contact us for more information.
