How to know if dolphins are being used in therapy for autistic children?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dolphin-assisted rx: There are various groups offering dolphin-assisted therapy for autistic children and others. http://tinyurl.com/ktav5to however, the actual research on this is not so good. http://tinyurl.com/kxoobw5 the therapy is expensive, does not cure autism, and risks animals which have been removed from their natural environments. There are other, more accessible animal-assisted therapies.
