When you have a child with special needs, you never know what to expect when you open that car door, says Debbie Stone.
She says she wanted to do everything she possibly could to help her son after he was diagnosed with autism, but the idea of shuffling him from one treatment to the next only some of which were covered by insurance was a nightmare.
If only one single place offered all his treatments in one location, and if only the programs were low-cost or free, she thought.
In 2012, she decided to do something about it. Stone created the New York-based nonprofit Pop.Earth, which offers low-cost holistic services for children with autism and other developmental disorders.
