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!

For seven years, our son Anton, diagnosed with cerebral palsy, has been taking regular dolphin therapy courses. The first courses were at Nemo Dolphinarium Donetsk, but today, it’s no longer possible because of war. Presently, we continue our dolphin therapy courses, with huge pleasure and desire, at Nemo Dolphinarium Berdiansk every summer. We have already taken quite a few courses, and we can tell with great confidence that every course brings positive results contributing to our son’s development dynamics: - in emotional sphere, we note that every dolphin therapy session excites a lot of positive emotions in our Antosha; - in behavioral sphere, he shows activity, i.e. big conscious desire for dolphin therapy sessions. After every course, our child becomes more purposeful and diligent, his interest in playing increases, his actions become more confident, he responds to a contact with the instructor and animals, and listens to communication with him. When stroking a dolphin, he tries to unbend an arm and open up fingers at the instructor’s command; - in communication sphere, his communication and speech skills continue to develop: he pronounces new sounds, his visual contact becomes steadier, and he shows desire for constant communication and attention. After every session, Antosha is visibly relaxed, which indicates the lowering of muscle tone and decreasing hyperkineses, and displays satisfaction with therapy sessions. All that bears well upon his mood, appetite and sleep. We are grateful to instructors and trainers of Nemo Dolphinarium Berdiansk for all their labors! Our thanks to Lidiya Rubtsova, the head of dolphin therapy section, and of course, to dolphins – our friends and helpers! We wish all of you strong health, and are eagerly waiting to see you again the next year! During the whole year, we often watch the photos and videos of our sessions and shows. We miss you very much, because we got used to your company over all these years. Thank you for being with us and for helping ill children!!!

Leaving for home with the huge sense of gratitude. We, a Russian-speaking family from Germany, brought our autistic son here for dolphin therapy. After the first session, our boy (who cannot talk) was shouting Hurrah! for about two minutes. Today is our last session, and everything went down great. Our Misha was truly happy all this time. He is changing for the better right in front of our eyes. Our huge thanks to the instructors Zhenya and Yura for their professionalism and kindness, attentiveness and openness! We’d like thank the trainers Anya and Masha for their welcoming attitude! We also would like to thank the assistant Alyona for her tenderness, understanding and responsiveness! Our expectations have been greatly exceeded! We will definitely come back here again. We are going back home, but leaving here a small piece of our hearts.

It was fantastic !!! I am glad that I got shiv for this . The therapist was a great guy who was extremely gentle and understanding with Shiv considering that Shiv dosn’t speak Russian they still managed very well !!! He is so happy to do this and will definitely do it again . I also feel he is more relaxed and calm post this so great for him.

Dear friends: A week spent with dolphins was incredibly interesting, effective and filled with fun! I’d like to mention the great job done by the entire personnel, who treated our child with utmost devotion. Everyone was very attentive, smiling and caring about my son as a close person. Everything is organized at the highest level! As a mother, I had nothing to worry about and nothing to keep an eye on! It’s worth a lot. They helped my son change clothes, were taking him to a therapy session, entertained and taught him… Despite the large number of visitors you receive, the locker room is clean, dry and has a pleasant smell! Thanks to dolphin therapy, my child has received a powerful emotional charge. Playing with dolphins stimulated development of his cognitive processes and psychomotor abilities. We are now ready for the upcoming academic year! Our huge thanks to the entire personnel, organizers of therapy sessions, and of course, our dolphin friends!

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…

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!
