In 1994, my husband and I adopted twin boys who were then 3 years old. We soon discovered that they had severe developmental delays and would require special education. Upon investigation we realized that no special needs program was available on Abaco. Working with Reverend Stan Kolasa of St. Francis De Sales Church and Dr. S. Kossack of Florida International University, and with the support of generous donors and other families with children who have similar needs, “Every Child Counts” was born.
