Little Leaps Therapy Services

04/06/2025

I’ll admit, my arms are a little shaky, already feeling it… It’s Day 1 and the Little Leaps Team have started the Push Up Challenge. 23 days pushing and raising awareness for mental health, and the importance of moving our bodies for our minds 💪

We’d love your support! Cheer us on or better yet join the challenge with us. No need to be a push-up pro… wall push ups, push up alternatives, or moral support from the sidelines all totally count.

There are too many families struggling silently, battling stigmas - we’re pushing for you! 💛✨

Check out our team page and get pushy with us 👉 https://www.thepushupchallenge.com.au/fundraisers/littleleapstherapyservices

The Push-Up Challenge is on in June! Join our team to get fit, have fun and learn about mental health.

Autism Awareness Month

Did you know the golden infinity symbol ♾️ represents Autism? It celebrates the endless diversity within the neurodivergent community and the limitless value autistic people bring to the world. And the gold? It stands for hope and a bright future.
✨Fun fact: the chemical symbol for gold is Au! ✨

As May rolls in, we’ve been reflecting on the brilliant stories, reels and insights shared during Autism Awareness Month. One quote that really stuck with us comes from autistic attorney and advocate Haley Moss:

“You can’t be an ally from a distance.”

Haley reminds us that truly supporting neurodivergent people means showing up - listening, learning, spending time together and challenging our assumptions. Inclusion isn’t about ‘helping’ or ‘fixing’ - it’s about valuing neurodiversity, and recognising the strength in different ways of thinking, communicating and being.

Let’s keep listening, learning and celebrating every beautiful, different way of being 💛♾️

✨ You did it - Term 1 is officially in the bag! ✨

If that’s not a good enough reason to sneak an Easter egg (or three), we don’t know what is 😄🐣

The Little Leaps team are each taking small breaks over the school holidays, soaking up some family time and chocolatey goodness.

Speaking of goodness... how stunning are these Easter cupcakes?! A huge thank you to the incredibly talented Swirls n Blossoms for the most beautiful (and delicious!) treat - we feel so spoiled 💛🧁

Wishing you a joyful, restful, and safe Easter break - may it be filled with love, adventures, and just the right amount of sugar! 💛🍫🌸

🎉 She’s a serial casting wizard, a mentor to many, a dear friend to the lucky ones, and someone whose care and passion for our Little Leapers shines through in everything she does.

Our truly wonderful Jan needs no introduction… but this week, she deserves all the shoutouts because it’s her Birthday Week! 🥳💫

Happy Birthday Jan! Thank you for being the incredible human you are. We are so blessed to have you as part of the Little Leaps Team 💛

This World Down Syndrome Day we’re celebrating some gorgeous kiddos with an extra chromosome that we’re lucky enough to spend time with. These little leapers have endless energy, big love for their siblings and music, and insatiable curiosity. They’re clearly going places! ✨

Thanks for keeping us on our toes and showing us the world through your eyes. We can’t wait to see where you take us next! 🚀💛

This incredible lady (on the left!) is our wonderful Kirsty, and it’s her birthday 🥳💕

She’s all joy, with an extra big heart for our Little Leapers finding their feet. As one parent put it “We’ve just won the therapist jackpot!” 🤩🏆💛

Happy birthday Kirsty!! 🥳✨

New year, same us! We’re back (ok, and have been for a week or so 😅) and we’re excited for a new year with our little leaps community 🫶
Bring on 2025!

We have loved hearing how our little leapers have been spending their Summer holidays so far and seeing the new skills learnt over the festive period.

What did the Christmas tree say to the ornament? “Hang in there!”🎄

We have a lot of excited little leapers who are hanging out for the big day to arrive. A few parents and carers who are also just hanging in there amidst the silly season🌟

So as the festive season draws near, so too does some down time for the Little Leaps Team. We’re taking a break from December 23rd and we’ll be back at it and ready for action on January 6th!

We’re excited to leap in and ‘sleigh’ our last week for 2024! Lots of love and all the festive trimmings, Tracy, Kirsty & Terese 💛🧡🩷

After-School Energy Buster: Trampoline Fun! 💥

Let’s be real — after a full day at school, it’s no surprise that our kids seem to get a second wind right before dinner! 😅 Funny how that works, right?! So, why not channel all that extra energy into some epic trampoline challenges?💪

Here are a few of our all-time favourite activities to turn the backyard into an adventure zone:
✨ Scissor kicks mid-air (feel the burn! 💪) ✨ Standing on one leg (who’s got the best balance?) ✨ Donkey kicks (high-flyers, here we come!) ✨ Mid-air spins (ballet, but make it bouncy! 💫) ✨ Jumping on your bottom and standing without using your hands (balance champions, unite! 🙌) ✨ Long-jumps (how far can you leap? 🏃‍♀️) ✨ Count how many claps you can do mid-air ✨ ‘Here comes Andy’ (a crowd pleaser) ✨ Finish it off with a dance party to your favourite tunes 🎶💃🕺

Trust us, this will burn off that extra energy in no time — and might even get you moving, too! If only we could tap into their limitless energy... 😅

Safety Tip: When there’s more than one person on the trampoline, make sure there’s plenty of space and everyone’s bouncing safely to avoid bumps and collisions. 🛑👀
