I Can Jump Puddles

03/10/2025

We are so proud to share that I Can Jump Puddles has successfully passed our NDIS Recertification Audit! 🎉

A huge thank you to our wonderful clients who gave their time in allowing file reviews and conversations with auditors — your feedback means everything. 💙

And an even bigger thank you to our amazing team. Every day you live and breathe our Puddles values, and this achievement is only possible because of your commitment, heart, and expertise.

Despite the challenges of recent NDIS changes, we continue to deliver high-quality supports with our clients at the centre of all we do. Our mobile model remains what clients love — meeting children, young people, and adults where they live, learn, work, play and thrive.

Here’s to continuing to jump puddles together!

🌊💦 In true Puddle style, we decided to make a splash amidst our NDIS audit! We’re thrilled to share that we launched our very first professional development workshop – the Serial Casting Workshop – led by our amazing physiotherapist, Sue Gibson! 🎉

Proudly sponsored by OPC, this workshop was all about collaboration, allowing us to share our skills and expertise beyond our team at I Can Jump Puddles. We are excited to contribute to upskilling the NDIS allied health workforce in South Australia! Stay tuned for more opportunities to jump in, connect, and grow together as we offer more professional development opportunities 💙

📺💙 Bluey and Play School share stories of children with disability 💜👧🧒

TV shows are a great way to talk about disability with your child and help them feel confident in who they are from a young age.

There are some great episodes of family favourites like Play School and Bluey that share the stories of children with disability. 🐶📚

There are also new shows to discover! 🌟

We’ve put together a list of some of our favourite episodes, segments and shows that are suitable for pre-school aged children, and available to stream for free online.

From our founder.
As a physiotherapist – and as a mum of three (now grown-up) kids – it saddens me to see how much children’s play has shifted into NDIS-funded therapy “super gyms” and away from the local community park.
This morning, Willow (I Can Jump Puddle’s office dog) and I walked past three beautiful parks on our way to work, and I couldn’t help but reflect: what happened to the power of the park?
Parks give children so much – for free!
✨ Core strength on a swing or seesaw
✨ Coordination climbing a rock wall and steps to slide
✨ Balance on uneven surfaces and logs
✨ Sensory play from nature – the sun, wind, flowers, birds, even the sounds of cars passing
These everyday experiences build strength, curiosity, and joy. They are the foundation for thriving kids – and they don’t come with a price tag.
NDIS-funded therapy has its place, but nothing can replace the joy and richness of play in natural, community spaces. These school holidays, why not rediscover the magic of your local park? 🌞

Today, ICJP team members from across disciplines spent some time connecting at SIES (Statewide Inclusive Education Services) to learn about their services and how we can best collaborate with families and educators about utilising such an amazing service within South Australia.

The team met with Deanne Stephanos, a Senior Advisor for @ Inclusive Services to learn about and see all the great resources available to families and educators and also heard from Candice Fiegert (Inclusive Learning Technology Service) about the specific support that can be provided for access and trials with inclusive technology.

We encourage all families to go to their website and learn about the services they offer: https://sies.sa.edu.au/
