Well hello there! I’m Sarah.

Often a while between posts for Leaps and Bounds, I thought I’d say hello and share a bit about me….

🌸 I’m Sarah, paediatric occupational therapist, wife and mum of two kids Josiah a Charlotte (8 & 7).

🦄 For fun our house is full of mermaids, unicorns, Marvel, superheroes, Star Wars, Zelda on Nintendo, cheese from Epicure in Camden and maybe 🥂

⚡️I’m a Harry Potter head now. I only read these books as an adult before introducing them to my own kids and love the magic and story.

🏅 I couldn’t be more rubbish at trivia and sometimes common sense. If you ask my husband or best friend Kate, they’ll tell you. But I did win game of thrones trivia this year 🐉

🏠 I’ve worked in kids OT for 17 years in a range of places but love working with kids alongside families to reach their goals in their own homes.

This beautiful girl Emilia is featured in the jeans for genes day campaign for 2023. You can head over to the website to donate to medical research for kids with genetic conditions and read up on her story. Proud to know you and your family Emilia. 💕

Local (ish) key word sign course..

My house celebrates May the 4th Star Wars day. Mostly because Josiah got in to the Star Wars movies/ tv but also because I love how the stories speak about Hope. So for whatever your needing a bit of hope for at the moment.. may the force be with you ⭐️ 💫

One of my kids favourite books when they were little. The second video is a lovely example of how to use key word sign with reading.

Including KWS while reading books is a great way to build your vocabulary and engage kids in the book. 📗 Here's a recording of a session from our KWS Awareness Day seminar last year "Read and Sign - Where is the Green Sheep" 🐑https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MmZ9kdH5Zyw. We have a video and both northern (NSW, Qld) and southern (other states) Sign Guides for this book. You can get them here: https://kwsa.org.au/resources/topic/where-is-the-green-sheep/?category=read-and-sign. We'll be uploading more sign guides in our Read and Sign section soon - stay tuned! 👍
