There is a program also in FL certain times of the year

where the children with special needs swim with dolphins.

My 2 cents is, that's great. But it only last during that time your there.

Why not have pets at home that are loving towards your child, you'll

get the same benefit, but its year around.

I really question whether this is so. I have no experience with

ASD kids and dolphins, but I have read a couple of books of first

person accounts of adults swimming with dolphins, and some of

their experiences are pretty mind-boggling. I think some of them

would probably say the effect was very much long term.

Same basic comment---- much as I adore cats, they are not

dolphins. Read about the physical and emotional healing

experiences people have had with dolphins if you want.

I think it is different than cats/dogs/birds/etc.

good wishes,

Moria

p.s. I'm all for having a wonderful home full of loving creatures.

My typical daughter and her friend swam with Dolphins and had a great

time and said it was very fun but it had no long term effect of any sort

except for a good memory.
