Ahmet Hamdi meets the dolphins
Written by family Hamdi
My son Ahmet Hamdi has been diagnosed with autistic mental and motor retardation. He has also some spastic characteristics and hyperactivity problems. The doctors we consulted suspected Williams Syndrome but it could not be diagnosed with any certainty because these tests cannot be undertaken in Turkey. Because of his general condition, he could not speak nor could he take care of himself. He was attending a special rehabilitation Centre in Gaziantep, the town where we have lived for the past 5 years. One day we heard on TV, quite by chance, something about dolphin therapy and we made investigations in the internet, subsequently we made contact with the Centre. We went to Kas on my vacation and had a screening with Dr. Galina. After her evaluation we decided on a course of Therapy. Our first interview was in July. Read the rest of this entry »
I am Gul Semiz, mother of Poyraz Semiz. About a month ago we visited you with our child for therapy. Since the therapy Poyraz’s understanding and awareness has appreciably increased, as has also his vocabulary. For the first time he can speak by mimicking our spoken words. Furthermore he is at present trying to use these words (like su – water, bye – bye, yogurt – yoghurt, ye – eat, abi – older brother, baba – father, bitti – finished) at the correct time.
