Mompreneur Creates Safety Mat For Kids With Epilepsy

Joshua Duce loves the Florida Gators, Spider-man, and Spongebob Squarepants.

Like many 6-year-old boys, he’s a happy kid, playing and laughing with a Wii controller in his hand.

Sometimes the active boy just stops cold. He has drop seizures and they happen more than 20 times a day. His brain just shuts down.

Joshua’s mother, Danielle, decided she needed to control the many bumps and bruises.

So she came up with the Safety PlaceMat, right in her own garage.

Now she’s a working stay-at-home mom. She’s making life safer for her son and other children with epilepsy. And she’s making life less stressful for her.

“I can’t think of anything more rewarding than to be at home with your child and to be able to start a new business,” said Danielle Duce.

The mat now goes everywhere Joshua goes.

“He has one at school,” said Duce. “We keep one in the back of our car for restaurants, we have one just about everywhere.”
