Occupational Therapy for Children with Cerebral Palsy in Phnom Penh

Cerebral Palsy (CP) affects a child’s ability to move and maintain balance and posture. While each child’s experience is different, many face challenges with muscle control, coordination, and daily functional tasks. At OrbRom Center in Phnom Penh, our occupational therapy program for children with cerebral palsy is designed to build independence, improve mobility, and foster a higher quality of life through customized and compassionate care.

How Occupational Therapy Supports Children with Cerebral Palsy

Occupational therapists help children with CP achieve meaningful goals in everyday activities like self-care, play, and learning. At OrbRom Center, therapy may include:

• Positioning and adaptive seating support

• Fine motor skills development (e.g., grasping, reaching, manipulating objects)

• Hand-eye coordination and visual tracking

• Muscle strengthening and flexibility training

• Functional mobility and transfer training

• Assistance with daily activities like eating, dressing, and using communication tools

Every session is guided by a therapist experienced in neuromotor disorders, ensuring that exercises are safe, appropriate, and goal-oriented.

Tools and Equipment We Use

Children with CP may need specialized equipment to support their development. At OrbRom Center in Phnom Penh, our clinic is equipped with:

• Pediatric therapy benches and adjustable chairs

• Balance beams and standing supports

• Grip-strength tools and fine motor kits

• Sensory mats and stability balls

• Assistive technology and adaptive devices

Our therapists not only use this equipment in sessions but also train parents on safe use at home.

Why Early Intervention Matters

Early and consistent occupational therapy has been shown to:

• Improve joint mobility and prevent contractures

• Promote muscle coordination and endurance

• Increase a child’s participation in school and social settings

• Boost independence in daily living skills

• Support emotional well-being and self-esteem

The earlier therapy begins, the better the outcomes in terms of brain plasticity and functional adaptation.
