About Us

At I Can Jump Puddles, we believe in the power of empowerment, expertise, and everyday action — our 3Es. We walk alongside children, families, and adults living with developmental delays and disabilities to achieve what matters most to them.

Our passionate team of allied health professionals and support specialists are committed to building capacity, fostering inclusion, and delivering supports that fit into everyday life. Whether it’s building confidence at preschool,school, participating in community life, or gaining greater independence at home, we focus on real outcomes that last.

We don’t just deliver services — we build relationships, share knowledge, and work together to remove barriers. At Puddles, we believe that every small step forward creates ripples of change.

Let’s jump those puddles together.

Our Name

Our founder, Sam, fondly remembers her first “grown-up novel” being I Can Jump Puddles by Alan Marshall. The story follows a young boy living with the effects of polio who, with courage and resilience, overcomes the many obstacles in his path. It’s a powerful reminder that while life brings challenges — or “puddles” — each one can be faced with determination, creativity, and support.

The name I Can Jump Puddles reflects this belief. We all have the right to dream big and strive toward a life filled with purpose, inclusion, and belonging. On that journey, we’ll each face different puddles — barriers, setbacks, or moments of uncertainty — that stand between where we are and where we want to be.

At Puddles, we exist to walk alongside children, families, and adults navigating those puddles. Our role is to build capability, confidence, and connections that empower people to move forward — one leap at a time. We bring together expert knowledge and everyday action to create real change, grounded in what matters most to each person.

I Can Jump Puddles isn’t just a name — it’s a belief in what’s possible when the right support meets the right moment. And it’s a belief we live every day.
