Xiao Yu is already quite the traveler, having been to Russia a couple of times. She is just 4 years old. However, Yu is no normal tourist, her visits to the Black Sea coastal resort of Sochi being about much more than rest and recreation, for Yu is autistic (自闭的). And in Sochi she has had encounters (遇见) with a very special kind of specialist (专科医生). That specialist - more exactly two of them- is a dolphin, contact with which is said to be beneficial to children like Yu.

Autism is a developmental disorder characterized by difficulties with social communication. In some severe cases autistic children may have trouble learning to speak or make eye contact. However,many children with autism are able to live normal lives. With the help of professional doctors, the children played games with the dolphins and receive treatment.

Dolphin-assisted treatment is not without controversy, there being no scientific evidence of its benefits, even if it is argued that the communicative experience for the children can be of no harm, and animal welfare activists object to the way animals are forced into their role as therapists (治疗师).However, even if Yu's mother is aware of such objections, she talks enthusiastically of the progress she thinks Yu has made since first traveling to Sochi.

That program, in which Chinese children with autism visit Sochi to receive dolphin-assisted treatment, is supported by the government of Sochi and the China Foundation for Disabled Persons. It was first held last October and again in mid-June to July. More than 10 children from China have now visited Sochi to receive dolphin-assisted treatment and have had very positive results, says Anatoly Pakhomov, the mayor of Sochi.

"We hope the Sochi government and China Foundation for Disabled Persons can establish a more stable long-term partnership, and we will continue to provide the necessary assistance and support," Pakhomov said.
