Tremendous progress for Luis
Posted by Dolphin Therapy Team in Therapy TestimonialsNo Comments »/Posted by: Lenard
Hello Elena,
Hello Axel,
At long last I have found the time to send a reply. Luis is very well and has made tremendous progress. Before the Dolphin Therapy he would look at me only by chance, now he concentrates on what is said to him. Also when someone entered the room Luis would show no reaction, now he straightaway turns his head to see who it is. In the next few days I will write again and attach some photos. Till then, greetings to all we know, we had such a nice time we really felt at home, we miss you all very much. Read the rest of this entry »
Kevin has awakened through the contact with dolphins
Posted by Dolphin Therapy Team in Help, Sponsoring & Stories,Media Reports1 Comment »/This was widely reported in the Press, the ‘Wochenblatt’ , ‘Vilstalboten’ and ‘TZ MÜnchen’ , it was reported in Radio Trausnitz and also on TV on the channels Sat 1 and Pro 7.
What has happened to date : So far our biggest project:
This is Kevin in his mother’s arms and he is laughing so heartily that one simply must laugh with him. This is quoted from Bavaria’s ‘Wochenblatt’: No one knows where he is… Kevin’s Life between worlds Kevin was alert as a child. At one year of age he could walk and spoke his first words. Then there was a tragic accident. Now Kevin lies in a persistent vegetative state, he cannot walk, speak or feed himself. Now he is fed through a stomach tube, he lives between worlds. The doctors said that Dolphin Therapy could be of some help. ‘Lebensfreude e.V.’ (registered charity) started a collection over Radio Trausnitz and the tz-muenchen and also enlisted the help of the Red BavariansDingolfing (FC Bayern Fanclub) and the local papers. In 12 days enough money was collected to fly Kevin and his whole family for 16 days to Kas in Turkey to take part in Dolphin Therapy. Read the rest of this entry »
Dolphin Therapy for our daughter with Rett Syndrome
Posted by Dolphin Therapy Team in Therapy TestimonialsNo Comments »/Written by Barbara Borns
We had a great time in Kas at the end of May and beginning of June. We took part in the Dolphin Therapy with our daughter (10 years old, Rett Syndrome). The Organizers and the Therapists were extremely friendly and helpful. Our daughter received a Physiotherapy that we had long searched for in Austria. The surroundings, the weather and the water (one could see down to the seabed) were superb. We really enjoyed these two weeks.
Three years ago we visited Dr. Nathanson in Florida. We were quite impressed with Dolphin Therapy so we decided to do it again. This time we chose Kas, because it’s nearer, cheaper and there is no 1 or 2-year waiting list. We were not disappointed and we shall return there when possible. Read the rest of this entry »
Marius Dolphin Therapy
Posted by Dolphin Therapy Team in Help, Sponsoring & Stories,Media ReportsNo Comments »/Written by : Thorsten Ruscher
We started in May 2007 – the Dolphin Therapy for our son Marius. Marius is three years old but his mental and physical development stopped at six months, there has been no diagnosis….
He was very healthy at six months, but then his development stopped. Marius still looks six months old and is soooooo sweet ! ! !
A lot of people advised us to try dolphin therapy but we were put off by the long trip to the USA or Curacao and naturally the expense… Read the rest of this entry »
Sammy´s alertness and interest improved
Posted by Dolphin Therapy Team in Therapy TestimonialsNo Comments »/Written by Olga Bugrova
Elena,
It is very nice to hear from you. Sammy is doing fine. I really think that the therapy helped him a lot in the psychological development. His movements are only a little better but his alertness and interest in the world have visibly improved.
I was thinking to get in touch with lgor and will probably do so, but later. I also remember about the composition you asked me to write but again,later. Since the therapy season is not coming up for the next couple of months I would take some time to write it. There are so many things happening here – I am still dealing with the consequences of being absent from Moscow for a month – therefore, I am sorry, but this is not a good time me yet.

Erman Asarlı profits from dolphin therapy
Posted by Dolphin Therapy Team in Therapy TestimonialsNo Comments »/Written by Kadriye Asarlı
When we were told that our son Erman Asarlı is half autistic in the Çapa Medicine Faculty in Istanbul we were depressed and made some research. We have taken him to Laser (Acupunctural) therapy and special training and still continue to do so. Finally, we took him to Dolphin Therapy at Kaş. After the therapy our son begun to speak more than before. He has gained more confidence. He has begun to ride his bicycle very well. He is going to 5th class of primary school in order to approach and make friends with others. His interest in, and communication with his environment has increased. We hope he will contiue to improve. Read the rest of this entry »

Positive effects
Posted by Dolphin Therapy Team in Therapy TestimonialsNo Comments »/Written by Katalin Juhasz
Dear Axel,
Sorry for not responding earlier, but unfortunately Antea was ill and we spent a week in the hospital. She had high fever and a convulsion, which we could not resolve at home. Now she is at home hopefully for the final stage of recovery.
About the effects of the therapy: I should start seeing them now as Dr Igor told me, but unfortunately because of the illness it may be delayed. But I can write to you about my experience of the therapy….you may also show my email address but I don’t check my mailbox regularly…
We spent a lovely two week vacation in Kas, turkey, with my daughter experiencing Dolphin Therapy for 10 days. My daughter suffered lack of oxygen prior to birth and now she is retarded in physical and mental development. Read the rest of this entry »

Family Huber´s report
Posted by Dolphin Therapy Team in Therapy TestimonialsNo Comments »/Written by Andrea Huber
Dear Therapy Team!
As promised, here follows a Summary of our Dolphin Therapy in Kas.
We had been previously informed that the Transfer from Dalaman Airport to Kas was functioning well only intermittently, and as we didn’t want to spend three hours in a cramped tourist bus we booked at short notice a `special Transfer` – expensive, but it saved us trouble with the transfer.
The Hotel was suitable for the Handicapped, the personnel was friendly. We were booked in the Hotel Phellos. We were told that ramps were present in the Reception area for children in Wheelchairs and Buggies, we still had to contend with one or two stairs, but there are no Hotels in Kas with lifts. The hotel food was very good. A small criticism is that because of the half-board, the cost of water and juices for the children is not inclusive. Read the rest of this entry »
