Island Dolphin Care is very fortunate to have an outstanding and unique working relationship with Dolphins Plus. This relationship began when Deena and Joe began their trips to Dolphins Plus in 1990. While Deena worked on Joe’s physical, emotional, and developmental needs…the trainers were constantly working on new behaviors with Fonzie to help facilitate Joe’s needs. Now, nearly seventeen years later, the Dolphin’s Plus trainers continue to work closely with the Island Dolphin Care therapists creating unique and fun sessions for the children and dolphins. Without the support and expertise of the Dolphins Plus staff our program would not be as successful as it has been!
