NEMO DOLPHIN THERAPY AND REHABILITATION CENTER
- A UNIQUE COMBINATION OF EFFECTIVE TREATMENT AND COMFORTABLE VACATION

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.

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!!!

Our huge thanks to the dolphin therapy team! We are truly grateful for the job you do and for your love and warmth. We received a sea of happiness, and charged ourselves with positive energy. These were 10 days of bliss. Your team is very good. Our child would happily run there every morning, and began to pronounce words. The team who worked with us were Oleksandr, Viktoria and Olena Volodymyrivna – our huge thanks to them! We’re eagerly waiting for the next year! Respectfully, Olena Oberemok, Nonna’s mother End date of Nonna’s dolphin therapy course: 13.09.2017

I would like to thank the team who worked with our Masha for their patience, welcoming attitude and individual approach!!!!!! Our thanks to Lena, Yura and Vika, and of course, to charming, kind and cute Zlata and Luna. These dolphins are simply fantastic, and I would like to thank once again all and everyone who helped us undergo this rehabilitation course)))) Regarding Masha’s achievements!!!

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! We regularly take dolphin therapy courses, because we believe that this form of therapy produces good results not only for the psycho-emotional and speech development but also for development of movement ability. We have something to compare it with, as we took therapy courses in many countries and cities. The last two years we have been to the dolphinarium in Theodosia, and plan to come there again in 2018. On the positive side, I’d like to mention the excellent teamwork of the instructor, trainer and the main actors – dolphins. As a result, our child waited for every session, and each time, it was an adventure for him. The organization of therapy courses is very competent, and during a session, the child swims on dolphins a lot and listens to sonars. All that takes place in the atmosphere of love and kindness. 23 families came there on our recommendations in 2017, and every one of them were happy with the result and quality! Among the most impressive results are these: after a therapy course, two children from among those who came there with us began to walk unaided, and one child began to talk. Many children showed improvement in the quality of speech; they began pronouncing new sounds, syllables and words, and because they have the desire to talk, their vocabulary began to augment. Our huge thanks to the entire dolphinarium team, and a separate personal gratitude to our favorite instructor Marina! We will definitely come back here again! Respectfully, Kirill’s mother
