About Megan Burchett
I'm Megan, a paediatric occupational therapist offering mobile services in Canning Vale and surrounding areas. I specialise in supporting neurodivergent children, with a particular interest in ADHD, autism and hypermobility conditions such as Ehler Danlos syndromes. My approach is neuro-affirming, strengths-based, and grounded in evidence-informed practice.
I believe therapy should feel safe, engaging, and meaningful. That’s why I use play-based interventions that children enjoy and that support real progress in everyday life. I work closely with families to ensure that goals reflect what matters most to them.

About Zebra Allied Health
Zebra Allied Health was founded with a deep respect for difference—both lived and learned. Currently, Zebra Allied Health (ZAH) is a sole-trader business, but who knows what the future holds!
The name *Zebra* is a symbol drawn from multiple worlds. In medical communities, the zebra reminds clinicians not to overlook rare or complex conditions. For the founder, who lives with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS), it’s a personal metaphor for being seen and understood beyond the “usual explanations.”
But the zebra also represents something powerfully neuro-affirming: a child who doesn’t need to be turned into a horse. In a world that often pushes for conformity, I believe neurodivergent children, are already perfect zebras: unique, vibrant, and whole just as they are. My job, therefore, is to help them unfold their brilliance, and support them to thrive in a world of horses.
The initials *ZAH* carry meaning too. In children’s music education, “Zah” is the rhythm syllable used to teach a rest, a pause, a beat of silence, a moment to breathe. That symbolism resonates with my therapeutic approach: creating space for rest, regulation, and reflection. In German, *zah* can also mean *tough*, a nod to the quiet strength we see in children and families every day.
So, no fancy website, no admin team, just a passionate occupational therapist who 'gets it'.
