DOLPHIN THERAPY:
TREATMENT WITH SMILE

Hello! My daughter has Down syndrome, and she just completed the ninth dolphin therapy course in Odesa. We came here the first time in 2010, and the result after every course was a significant improvement. After sessions with dolphins, my child became more attentive and calm. Emilia likes to communicate with dolphins very much, and they have developed a true friendship. I also would like to thank the therapists who worked with Emilia – the whole team of professionals who want to help every child. My deepest gratitude to your center!

During the first course of dolphin therapy, we performed an electroencephalogram before and after the course. And the result was significant. Today we finish the sixth course, it is 60 therapies and according to our doctor's statement we are 80% healthy. A few more courses and they give us a certificate stating that the child is completely healthy. We are very happy about this!

My name is Valentina Coroama. My child is Alex Tudor and he is 6 years old. We are from Romania. We heard about this Сenter from other parents, who came there. They were very-very excited about the results and we decided to try it. We had 8 sessions and from the 4-th with little effort my son entering in swimming with dolphins. I’m very pleased about it. I will recommend dolphin therapy and also, I planned to come back in April, when I expect to see revolution in his behavior. This time it’s just a beginning!

My name is Dan Ioana. I’m from Romania. My children’s names are Dan Casiana and Dan Chisar. I came there to have dolphin therapy, because my daughter has a delay in development. She is 2 years old. We don’t have special diagnosis. So, I want to help my little girl in a simple way, because dolphins are fun. And we have done 10 dolphin therapy sessions. I can say a big “WOW!”, because Casiana tried to talk something. She started to say some words, and I hope, many others will come! I definitely recommend dolphin therapy to all my friends and for all, who want to help their children in the beautiful way.

My name is Valentina Ceban, the child's name is Dan Valerian Ceban. We are from Moldova. We arrived to Odessa with paralytic Down syndrome. We did the course of dolphin therapy in May and we had 10 lessons. Now we have arrived for the second time, also for 10 sessions. After the first course of dolphin therapy, exactly after the 5th lesson, the child started walking about 2-3 steps and on the 8-9th day he was almost running! We come back home very grateful: child, mom and I, like a grandmother. After dolphin therapy, my grandson stopped biting, became calmer and more obedient. Now we listen to children's songs, draw and play with the ball. Dolphin therapy was opened for us only from the good side.

I am Larisa Lastovina. My son’s name is Timofei. We always knew about the existence of dolphin therapy, but when the child was diagnosed with Autism spectrum disorder and speech development delay, we decided to take a course with dolphins. Now, we have already had 15 sessions. And, already after the first 10 lessons, we saw improvements in the development of the child’s thoughts, vocabulary was significantly expanded, and communication skills were improved. We are thankful to the team of specialists and therapists who provide dolphin therapy, they are doing a great cause! Progress is already evident during the process of dolphin therapy sessions. After the 5th lesson, the child's condition returned to normal, and appetite even increased. I definitely recommend dolphin therapy. If there is such opportunity, you should obligatorily try it!

Bobrovsky Dmitriy We passed diagnosis in geneticists and they was diagnosed with syndrome Cornelia de Lange . Dolphintherapy is a part of our treatment. After 10 dolphintherapy sessions the child has emotional outburst, Milana can express her emotion. After the treatment we can’t stop her when she talk! Changes have occurred in communication; she’s start count. Milana loves her classes, therefore we see that our kid is opening up! This is a really big deal for us.

We took the first course of 10 dolphin therapy sessions. It’s the best form of therapy for children! I can tell for sure that even when sitting next to dolphins, I begin to feel somewhat differently. It’s a stunning spectacle. I, the mother, also received dolphin therapy while watching every session of my child, the way he swims and communicates with dolphins. At the first session, Kerim was anxious about the swimming pool (he can’t swim), but he wasn’t afraid of dolphins at all and was first to reach out to dolphins. After 3-4 sessions, Kerim stopped to fear water, thanks to our instructor Oleksandr. I would like to thank him for all 10 sessions, for his approach to our child and for all our achievements! I also would like to express my huge gratitude to the entire personnel of the dolphinarium. All of them are very amiable and attentive. Everything there is clean and in proper order. Very comfortable conditions for sessions. Dolphin therapy brings positive emotions only. THANK YOU VERY MUCH, Nemo Dolphinarium!!! See you again!

Thank you very much for the job you do, for good attitude and excellent mood we received from your wonderful team during our sessions! Your dolphins are simply superb!!! Our special respect for them))) And generally speaking, we were very pleased with the professionalism of the rehabilitation therapists Yuri, Olena and Viktoria. Thank you very much!!! In our case, we have achieved not only psychological and emotional but also physical progress, as our Alyosha began to better hold his head and back, and his spastics decreased. We wish you continuing success and prosperity!!! See you again…

Hello! I am Elmira Veisova, the mother of Irina Medved. This year was the second time we took a dolphin therapy course at Nemo Dolphinarium Berdiansk. We liked it very much. Our child was very happy; she befriended dolphins, showed signs of improvement, and began pronouncing syllables more expressively. Her speech became clearer, and she began showing more interest, asking more questions and speaking in full sentences. She can retell a fairy herself. This year, she tried herself to swim in circles with dolphins under supervision of a trainer and, something we liked very much, showed more stamina and courage. She works well with arms and legs in water. We are very happy with Nemo Dolphinarium Berdiansk. Our huge thanks to trainers and dolphins with whom we worked! In 2018, we will definitely come back here again for another course! Respectfully, Elia and Irina Medved

We came here from the Society of Disabled Children in Astana, and are very satisfied with the dolphin therapy course. We are happy that you gave us an opportunity to undergo treatment. Our separate thanks to the instructor Marat and trainers for their patience and attention they paid to our son Alimzhan. From the very first minute, Marat was able to find approach to our son and befriend him, and we are very grateful to him for that. I also would like to express my gratitude to Oleksandr for his excellent and kind attitude and individual approach. He was able to fit himself in our schedule, helped us make convenient appointments and supported us in all possible ways with kind words and amiable attitude – something that can seldom be found in our times. And of course, our separate and deepest gratitude to dolphins! It’s amazing how they can charge not only our son but also us, the parents, with their astonishing energy! We are very happy that we came to this place! I wish your wonderful team prosperity, success and many happy patients able to cure their illnesses! My sincerest wishes of happiness and strong health!
