Dolphin therapy for autis children. This therapy is started by anthropologist Dr. Betsy Smith in the early 1970 after seeing the Dolphin therapist effects on his brother who suffered nerve disorders. in 1978 Dr. David e. Nathanson began to observe the impact of dolphins to disabled children in Ocean World, Fort Lauderdale, Florida. He developed a series of experiments in carefully controlled, using the dolphins as a teacher for children with Down syndrome. Later, the presence of dolphins give distinct advantages for children in terms of process information (visible to learn faster with increasing censorship attention, especially to the mental state is weak).
Dolphin therapy is aimed to improving the sensory activity of the child. In the program which took place in the pool with dolphins, the therapist helps autism kids to swim, to touch, feed or mengelus-elus animals. Then the therapist will work and help in specific areas such as speaking, behaving and motor skills.
Dolphin therapy cannot cure fully. But can relieve some symptoms of autism by way of strengthening their healing process. Researchers are taking a blood sample before and after therapy to find the existence of a child do change hormone endorphin and enzymes as well as T-cells.
The research on the dolphin and autism doing continuously, and scientists also have found some the hypothesis that ignites and played with the dolphin will arousing deep emotional response and stimulate the release of feelings and deep emotion. The researchers believe, kids are more responsive to therapy because they played in a pleasing .
The dolphins have natural sonar. They would emit ultrasound waves to determine the location of objects and to communicate. The sound emitted by the dolphins, the light comes again, very strong so that it could lead to the formation of a hole in the structure of the molecules of liquid and soft tissue.
The frequency of the signal the dolphins influential powerful against human brain by way of modifying the activity of brain waves. Results of tests conducted in humans suggests that this can change the frequency of the sound of the human brain from beta to alpha. The sound it makes both hemispheres of the brain more synchronous so that communication between right brain and left to be much better. In addition, this Dolphin therapy also was able to make changes to strong emotions, calm children, enhance the ability of communication and concentration, improve motor function and coordination, making eye contact, smiles, laughter, and a touch better child resources, as well as boost the immune system.
