Dolphin Therapy for our daughter with Rett Syndrome

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.

The Therapy is a little different to that in Florida. We and our daughter also enjoyed the therapy in Kas very much. It is more restful than in Florida (always only one therapy session) and also the Beluga whales were snuggley and easy-going. It was nice that on the last day brothers and sisters could enter the water too. A big thank you to the Organizers and especially to the Physiotherapist.

We will readily answer any queries !
