Our 5-Day Therapy Program provides a motivational catalyst for participants to discover their potential through an array of playful, educational activities.  The integration of individualized classroom sessions with art projects and games that are tailored to the child’s individual needs and level of function, create a fun way to bring the dolphin experience indoors. 

But wait, there’s also our learning environment and Fonzie’s Backyard!  This marine science education program for therapy families teaches children about marine mammals and about the creatures that inhabit the ocean.

Our weekly family barbecue creates a warm and inviting opportunity for family’s to regroup and relax.

Of course, paired with the giggles and fun comes the hard work – the therapy.  Our therapists are trained in special education and psychotherapy, as well as physical and educational therapy, which enables them to develop individualized strategies that provide an intensive therapeutic program based on the child’s specific needs.

For more information about the 5-Day Therapy Program, please see our Frequently Asked Questions.

Once again, welcome!  Please take the time to browse through our site and get to know us.  We hope to see you soon.

“We cannot begin to express our amazement at the changes we and others have seen in her in the past few days. She glows when she tells people about the experience.”

“Well, you did it again! You took a years worth of tears... and with the wave of a magic moment made it all disappear…into wonderful memories filled with radiant smiles, dolphin dances, and dolphin song”.

“Thank You Very Much” for making our days fantastic!”

"Therapeutic intervention for me was...IDC making magic to bring a smile to my child's face as well as mine..."

"The experience makes him happy, builds confidence, fosters independence, positive emotional impact, and motivates use of language."

"Island Dolphin Care is a true blessing for parents with special needs children. IDC gives my son something to look forward to in the summer, since he is unable to play certain summer sports. My son is already planning his next trip there. He tells everyone how he loves to swim with the dolphins, they are his friends."

“You mean so much to me because since I’m weak I never thought I would be able to swim with dolphins. I really appreciate that you let my dream come true, now I’m not just Holli; I’m even more a dolphin lover”
