1) Humphries, T. Bridges. Effectiveness of Dolphin-Assisted Therapy as a Behavioral Intervention for Young Children with Disabilities. Bridges. 1: 1-10. Humphries discusses throughout this journal what dolphin assisted therapy (DAT) is and some of the results from previously done experiments. It contained lots of information about the background information of DAT, what it does, the methods, and results of the experiments themselves. Humphries, Mohamad Shaifudin Bin MdYusof and Noel Kok Hwee Chia all agree that DAT works, and can be a great way to help children with disabilities.

I really like that because that’s how I feel about DAT as well. It’s amazing but with the kinks taken care of with would be perfect. This journal was a 10 because although they recognized some of the flaws with this experiment they didn’t come down so harshly like some others have done. The organization was great, presented its data in an appealing manner, and was well thought
