Stone also received a Young Artist Award nomination for her guest appearance on House,[6] and guest appeared on Line of Fire and Without a Trace.[7] In 2007, she joined the main cast of Disney's Wizards of Waverly Place as Harper.

In 2010, she played Harriet in the film Harriet the Spy: Blog Wars, based on the book of the same title by Louise Fitzhugh, which she later admitted she had not read before starring in the film. She later starred in the film Nothing Left to Fear and the television film High School Possession.[citation needed]

Stone is a registered nurse.[8][9] In January 2018, she was interviewed on the Diabetes Connections podcast about her diabetes diagnosis, and how it has affected her life and career.[10] In July 2019, Stone testified before the Senate for the JDRF, describing her experience with diabetes.[11] Stone finished nursing school in December 2019, as news of the COVID-19 pandemic broke, and she mentioned in several interviews that she would be "joining the front lines" in the fight against the disease.[12][13][14]

As of 2021, Stone made regular Instagram updates about her work in the hospital.[15] As of August 2022, she was working in the emergency room at a hospital in Burbank, California.[16] Also in 2022, she appeared as a spokesperson for Medtronic's insulin pen product.[17]
