Parent report from Leon from 11.08.2008 – 25.08.2008
This year I finally had time to write a report and I cannot even express how grateful I am towards Barbara and Daisy. We already had been to dolphin therapy last year with Leon (8).
We kept our expectations for the therapy very low so we would not be disappointed. As Leon suffers from multiple disabilities, we were not sure what kind of changes could be expected.
Leon could only speak a few words last year before the therapy, and even these few were very hard to understand. Right after the 4. therapy with Daisy, Leon started saying several words and they became more and more with time. Overall, his whole development took a giant step forwards. We still cannot believe what Daisy brought out in Leon.
Leon also has a balance problem which makes walking impossible for him. But even this has improved and he can now walk a few meters with the rollator. Because of these great improvements we decided to do another therapy. As the whole team moved in the Winter we were looking forward to our next trip to turkey even more (the Kemer Resort was not so great). We booked ourselves a room in the Grand Yaszici and it was great. Read the rest of this entry »

Dear Barbara,
I hope you have enjoyed the holidays and new year festivities to the full.
After an arduous few weeks everything is running smoothly again. Michael took quite a while (from mid-November) to recover from his illness. Weakened by his serious infection he was assailed by colds and flu and it has taken a lot of time to discover that he has again reacted very well to the dolphin therapy. Read the rest of this entry »

Therapy Report from Family Eilmsteiner 26. July-09. August 2008
Hello Veronika, Dean and the whole therapy team!
First of all we would like to thank you all, especially Veronika and Dean. It was a great and successful time that we got to spend with you.
On the 26.July 2008 at midnight our journey started. We were very excited to see how our trip and the therapy would go. Our journey went very smoothly and the hotel Grand Yacizi Mares was very nice. Our bungalow was very big and the location was central and quiet.
The next day we had our meeting with the therapists. We had a great first impression and were excited about the therapy start. Read the rest of this entry »

Report of Leon Paul Kolodjezak’s dolphin therapy from 12.07.-26.07.08
Hey, as promised this is the therapy report from Leon’s 1st. dolphin therapy from 12.07.-26.07 in the Kemer dolphin therapy center .
Your dolphin therapy center is very nice, you are a great team, very nice and competent.
We have never been in turkey, but Kemer is a beautiful place. The city itself has a lot of tourism, hotel next to hotel. We were very happy with our hotel Grand Yacizi Mares. The food was great, location was not in the city center, but directly on the sea-front.
All great things to start a dolphin therapy!
We were nervous to see how Leon would handle the flight, but he flew as if he had never been doing anything else!

Maxi’s second dolphin therapy in Kemer, Turkey from 16.6 until 7.7.2008
After the positive experiences from last year (Sept. 2007) we decided to do another dolphin therapy. In the months after the last therapy, Maxi showed great progress with his head control.
Maxi was born on the 07.01.05 as a healthy baby and stopped developing when he was 6 months old. He is still like a “big baby”-rolls, but cannot sit, crawl, walk or speak. He has problems with coordination and perception. We also do not know how much he can see. A diagnonsis/cause for his mental and motoric developmental block has not been found yet, despite numerous medical examinations in and out of the country.

We were able to visit the Dolphin Therapy Centre in Kemer for a second time this year.We knew beforehand that the Therapy Centre had to move and we were very interested to see what changes had been made. At last the time had arrived and on 16.06.2008 we made an early morning start from Cologne to Dalaman. As on our previous visit a Transfer was awaiting us at the airport to take us to the hotel.

Report: 1. Dolphin therapy from 02.07.-13.07.2008 Sieberer Florian
We want to first say thank you to Linda and Barbara for a great therapy with Florian!!
Even if it was a bit difficult for Florian and us at the beginning, the new surroundings, a new therapist and such a big animal in the water-it was a lot to process. After a few days we had gotten comfortable and felt great.
Of course we were all very curious and excited about what was waiting for us in Kemer. We started at 3am and got to the airport very late, had to take a 2 hour bus ride from Dalaman to our hotel and were happy when the journey was over.
The first two days we had time to get used to the climate and the surroundings, which was good but at the same time we could not wait to get started. Read the rest of this entry »

Dear Team!
Thank you again for the great success Selina had during and after the dolphin therapy.
We decided to stay for 3 weeks because Selina does not like water and we thought she would need a week to get used to it. We were surprised though, because she participated well from the beginning thanks to the great therapy team and accepted the water and the dolphin “Frosia”.
Selina is a child with multiple disabilities, with the Ohtahara syndrome and epilepsy. She has a similar disease to Rene Treitler. We have known family Treitler Sandra, Erwin, Lisa and of course Rene for several years and have been following the therapies Rene has been doing, and we can only confirm that this was the best thing that could have happened to our children and our families!
We look forward to seeing you in 2009!
Many Greetings to everyone
From Petra, Simon, Manfred and of course Selina Read the rest of this entry »
