We provide occupational therapy, speech-language therapy, feeding support, teletherapy, and caregiver coaching in welcoming, play-based environments.

Our team partners with children and families to build practical skills for everyday life—from communication, emotional regulation, sensory processing, fine and gross motor development to self-care, feeding, and school participation. Every child receives individualized, strengths-based care designed around their needs, interests, and goals.

At The Openshaw Spot, we believe progress happens through meaningful relationships, family collaboration, and plenty of fun.

A spot to belong. A place to grow.]]></description><link>https://www.theopenshawspot.com/blog</link><generator>RSS for Node</generator><lastBuildDate>Sun, 01 Nov 2026 18:40:15 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link href="https://www.theopenshawspot.com/blog-feed.xml" rel="self" type="application/rss+xml"/><item><title><![CDATA[Tantrum vs Meltdown How Parents Can Tell the Difference and Help]]></title><description><![CDATA[A child screaming on the floor of a grocery store can look the same from the outside every time.
