Maybe of you is a believer or
not. But, certainly, dolphin
therapy is not much better
than the simple ways that can
be done alone, such as occupational therapy, speech,
and behavior. Autism is a complex
developmental disorder in
children. A child who has autism
typically have problems in
terms of development
communication, social interaction, and behavior. During this time, many who
thought the dolphin therapy
can help a child with
neurodevelopmental autism.
However, according to the
founder of the Autism Society of Indonesia (MPATI) Gayatri
Pamoedji SE MHC, we do
actually with three types of
therapy is sufficient. This is
because, according to him, it is
the base that must be given to children with autism. "With three such therapy, a
child can be taught how he sat
silent, obedient, and talk. If it
had succeeded in all three
therapies, new therapies may
be dolphins," says Gayatri, the launch of the first comic
autistic autism, Wednesday
(30 / 3 / 2011) in Jakarta. According to Gayatri, so far
there has been no definitive
studies on the success of
dolphin therapy for persons
with autism. "Until now, dolphin therapy
there has been no definitive
research of any country if it
proves successful. There is
only testimonials of parents,"
he concluded.
