- The JF Dolphin Project at Florida's Gulfarium is a one to two week therapy program for children with academic, communication, and/or physical therapy needs. It is a research based and cost efficient program designed to enhance traditional therapies. The JF Dolphin Project combines the expertise of State of Florida licensed therapists/teachers and the Gulfarium's experienced dolphin interaction trainers.
Based on our experience with disabled children in the water with dolphins, we encourage you to schedule a minimum of 3-5 therapy sessions. As children become more familiar with expectations, therapist, and dolphin/water environment, therapeutic benefits usually increase significantly.
