Answer 1

Austin and swimming therapy:

Swimming is helpful for not only autistic children but for all childre. Studies shows that children who exercise at least 20-25 mints a day, there can be a prominent changes in their behavior can be seen. Any kind of physical activity in water can help telex muscles and reduce stress level. Group swimming can help children greatly with developing social skills.

In autistic children swimming can help improve children's attention span, concentration, impulse control and ability to follow directions. Swimming can help children who have autism with speech. Blowing bubbles in the water and learning to regulate their breath can improve oral articulation.

Studies claim that the curative powers of dolphins are over the top, interacting with dolphins can alleviate autism and many other learning disorders. Dolphin therapy is like a magnet for parents who would do anything to help their children get rid of autism or other mental disorders.

However researcehers carefully observed sessions in which dolphins interacted with groups of autistic children in a dolphin therapy session. They found that most of the dolphins ignored the children, and there was not much ultrasonic dolphin talk going on. In fact the children were exposed to an average of only ten seconds on dolphins ultrasounds during each sessions, not beneficial at all. The researchers cocluded that kids would have been better off playing with dogs rather than dolphins.
