Today is World Autism Awareness Day and April is Autism Awareness Month. We appreciate all the love for our pop.stars everywhere πŸ’• We appreciate our donors, staff, our board and our founder who puts this population first. Since 2012 when we became the first in the country to focus on holistic health and wellness options for people with autism, we did so by utilizing a pop.up model (not a thing back then in the nfp world). In 2020 we pioneered "Cultivate" to train our attendees for jobs in the kitchen (as seen on News12). In 2022 we opened our Center for All. In 2025 we revealed our vision of what housing can look like for those with autism. Now in 2026, we are bringing in impact investors via LOHAS.org as we seek to grow in new ways to help more people. At Pop.Earth we never lose sight of our mission and vow to continue working for the betterment of those with autism and special needs πŸ™Œ

Meet Mike Turkowitz one of our co-honorees at this year's AutismCooks taking place on 4/23.

Mike has a unique take on why he supports people with ASD and special needs. Read in his own words:

"I’m grateful to be considered for this award, as my work has always been grounded in a simple belief which is that every person deserves to be understood, supported, and given a fair opportunity to succeed. For those with autism and youth growing up in group homes, those opportunities are not always equal.

My commitment to this work is deeply personal. As a teenager, I spent three years living in a group home on Long Island. That experience gave me firsthand insight into the realities many young people face within systems meant to support them. It showed me how important stability, encouragement, and understanding are during formative years, and how easily young people can feel overlooked without consistent support and advocacy.

Because of this, much of my work focuses on helping children with autism feel seen, respected, and supported in ways that recognize their individual needs and strengths. Autism is not something to be fixed but something to be understood. With the right support systems, children on the spectrum can build confidence, independence, and meaningful connections with the world around them." πŸ†πŸ‘πŸ’―

We look forward to presenting Mike with his award so come join us on April 23rd at Appliance World in Huntington. Link to sponsor or buy tickets here www.autismcooks.org

We have a unique opportunity for 4 individuals to attend the "Spellers" program at no cost here at Pop.Earth.

The program here https://www.spellers.com is tailored to help non verbal individuals be able to communicate by typing. Our long time pop.earther, Angie Franciosa is training now and will take up to 4 individuals for individual sessions lasting 30-40 minutes at our space in Huntington Station. The sessions will take place on Mondays and Tuesdays (we are working out times in the late afternoon). Beginning in April and lasting through October. They are weekly (and for optimum results you must attend weekly). If you are interested for your loved one please email dstone@popearth.org and put in the title "Spellers". Thank you 😊

What is Spellers? It’s a method, a movie, a community, and a social movement. Nonspeakers globally are finding their voice through spelling and typing, their most effective means of communication.

We are excited that our own Deb Stone will be speaking alongside Touro University Winter Forum in NYC on 3/10! The amazing will be moderating this very important session discussing the benefits of holistic health options, housing initiatives and Pop.U.Lace for people with autism and special needs. Conversations can lead to change in underserved populations and we couldn't be more hopeful. πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

Thank you to the late Daniel Hughes for caring about our pop.stars to bring awareness and new ideas to the table with Deb and our board member Rudy James. πŸ™
