| Abstract | Madison is a four-year-old child who was born with cerebral palsy and cortical vision impairment. As a result, she has limited use of her extremities and is just starting to walk with assistance. She is predominately non-verbal, with the exception of a few words. This article describes how Island Dolphin Care (IDC), a nonprofit agency in Key Largo, Florida, helps children like Madison through interaction with dolphins and use of an assistive device. IDC has a special eye-tracking computer called the MyTobii which allows nonverbal children to communicate with their eyes. The dolphins at IDC are used as a motivational tools that reward children for hard work during their aquatic therapies. (ERIC). |
