This is one of a kind; people with disabilities could be cured through this kind of therapy called Dolphin therapy. Something is exciting about this therapy for it has proven that some people with disabilities got cured. Participants, including Luiz Felipe, a 27-year-old with Down Syndrome, visit the Rio Negro River from Manaus to engage in this innovative form of therapy, which has aided around 400 people over the last twenty years.

Other disabilities include autism. cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, and amputations. They benefitted from this unique interaction with dolphins. Simoes Andrade developed this therapy technique, the first in the world. The therapy sessions are offered free of charge and are supported by sponsorships. Simoes asserts that the therapy enhances skills like balance, spinal strength, and psychomotor coordination. He believes the focus is on treating individuals holistically and humanely.
