WELCOME TO THE WEBSITE OF
CURACAO DOLPHIN THERAPY & RESEARCH CENTER.
Dolphin Therapy
Curaçao Dolphin Therapy & Research Center (CDTC) offers children/youngsters with a disability and their families the
possibility to participate in a special therapy program lasting two weeks, in sunny beautiful surroundings, in which the
interaction with specially trained dolphins is an essential element. The additional aspects, like warm, clean seawater,
pleasant climate, play and pleasure, all contribute positively to the therapy. When all factors are weighed up: swimming,
working and playing with dolphins, then the therapy takes on a new dimension in which the next step can be worked on effortlessly!
The objective at CDTC is: to stimulate the development of the child and to increase the wellbeing of the family that the child
is part of.
In order to achieve our goals an intensive therapy program is designed that consists of a combination of interaction
with dolphins, behavioral adjustment and specific therapies like physiotherapy, speech therapy and occupational therapy. In doing so
attention is not only paid to the child, but the entire family is involved in an educational and playful fashion.
