Meet Sarah

 

Known for her work in assistive technology, home modifications, and complex functional assessments, but her real superpower?

Translating NDIS jargon into plain, human language that OTs can actually use.

As a trainer and presenter, Sarah has worked with thousands of OTs across Australia, helping them navigate the twists and turns of the NDIS without losing their sanity (or their sense of humour).

After setting up Verve OT, a thriving OT-practice based in NSW, Sarah founded Verve OT Learning. A learning hub dedicated to making quality, relevant professional development achievable and easy to apply in the real world.

Sarah also facilitates the NDIS OT Community of Practice, an online gathering of over 12,000 OTs who share ideas, resources and the occasional therapy-related meme.

She’s the co-host of the OT Unplugged podcast, where the conversations are real, the insights are practical, and the coffee is always strong.

She’s still waiting for her call-up to the Australian walking netball team… but until then, she’ll stick to scoring goals in the NDIS space.

Why Verve OT Learning?
