Dolphin therapy?

Question

I need to know if there is a Dolphin therapy for kids with disabilities in Georgia or southern Tennessee, if there is one would you tell me the name of it? and if possible the phone number of it.

thanks

Answer 1

Since dolphins need sea water, all the Dolphin therapy places I located were in Florida - I guess weather is a factor too.  Since you are at least close to Florida, they should be accessible to you.  Hope this helps.

Answer 2

I only know of Florida. I had dolphin therapy in Florida and it was great. I don't think it helped my ASD but it was fun. Maybe I am not severe enough to reap the full effects of it.

Hi The Answ...  If I may, also try horse back riding.  Here in So. California, we have therapy riding for special needs kids and oh how wonderful it is!  Just a suggestion. :D
