Mumbition with Carrie Kwan & Lucy Kippist 
About Sarah Cummings
Sarah Cummings is a co-founder of Teach Ted, an Australian business that helps children prepare for hospital admissions, medical procedures and other new experiences. She created Teach Ted with Sare Christensen. Its social stories, books, apps, videos and activities use learning through play to explain what will happen, and give parents and carers age-appropriate ways to talk about it.
Teach Ted's resources are developed with medical clinicians, early childhood experts and medical play therapists, and tested with families going through the same experiences. The business also works with medical providers, schools and charities through partnerships, and donates books and resources to groups supporting families facing medical challenges.
On Mumbition with Carrie Kwan & Lucy Kippist, she spoke about bootstrapping a mission-driven business and why reducing children's fear through understanding helps families and healthcare teams.
