Human Dolphin Interaction

Several private institutes have been established where dolphin interaction is part of rehabilitation programs designed to rejuvenate humans who are suffering from physical handicaps, autism, and hypertension.

Educational programs are being established to train therapists as to how to incorporate dolphin healing techniques into therapy programs for human rehabilitation. Information regarding these educational programs needs to be incorporated into current educational programming.

Education

It is time for human dolphin interaction to be considered for inclusion in educational curriculums beginning at the K-12 level, where young people can initially be introduced to dolphin intelligence and the potential for dolphin aided therapy. Dr. John Lilly, neuroscientist, MD was the forerunner of dolphin communications. He published several books on dolphins, and he also started the first Human Dolphin Foundation in the early 1990's. The First International Symposium for Dolphin Assisted Therapy was held in Cancun in 1995. Researchers presented their experiences with dolphin assisted therapy and virtual reality technologies available for virtual experiences with human dolphin interaction.

Leaders in the Research

Support for the first Dolphin Assisted Therapy Conferences was initiated by Dave Cole and the AquaThought Foundation in conjunction with Dolphin Discovery in Florida. The AquaThought Foundation presented the CyberFin for the EDGE Exhibition at SIGGRAPH '94 in Orlando, Florida, and Paras West Productions, in conjunction with the Human Performance Institute, Loma Linda University Rehabilitation Center presented the Human Dolphin Virtual Reality World Concept.

Among the individuals in the group were: Dave Cole, AquaThought Foundation, Dr. Dave Nathason, Dolphin Human Therapy & Research, Don Estes, InnerSense Technology, Dr. Dave Warner, Loma Linda University Medical, Rehabilitation Center, Paras Kaul, Human Performance Institute, Fredrick Atwater, Monroe Institute, Dr. Beth Smart, Florida Back Institute, Steven Birch, Monash University, Australia and Marianne Klingle, Clearwater Marine Science Center.
