Dolphin Therapy, a dream come true for special needs twins!

A family from Evansville is set to fulfill one of their biggest dreams thanks to the Wish Upon a Star Program.

The Adler family's twin sons got their wish to swim with the dolphins in Key Largo, Florida as part of a therapy program. Adam and Aaron are 18 years old and have battled disabilities their entire lives.

The Adlers say the boys have been their greatest challenge and blessing and realize they are about to embark on the trip of a lifetime.

Beverly Adler, mother of the twins, says, "We first heard about the dolphin therapy program about 13 years ago and never dreamed that we'd get to go, so this is an absolute dream come true. The boys love the water; they love animals, and they say that the dolphins have a special connection with special needs children."

The family will return home from Florida next Saturday.
