Occupational Therapy for Teens and Adults with Down Syndrome in Phnom Penh

Down Syndrome is a lifelong condition that affects physical, cognitive, and adaptive development. However, with the right support, individuals with Down Syndrome can lead rich, independent, and fulfilling lives. At OrbRom Center in Phnom Penh, our occupational therapy programs are tailored to help teens and adults with Down Syndrome develop practical life skills, improve motor coordination, and build confidence through personalized interventions.

Occupational therapy goes beyond childhood—it plays a vital role in supporting continued growth and independence across the lifespan.

Why Occupational Therapy Is Important for Teens and Adults with Down Syndrome

As individuals with Down Syndrome grow, their needs evolve. While early childhood therapy may focus on milestones like walking or holding utensils, therapy in the teen and adult years is often aimed at:

• Improving fine motor skills for tasks like writing or using tools

• Enhancing hand-eye coordination through games and structured activities

• Building daily living skills such as dressing, cooking, and personal hygiene

• Developing job-readiness for supported employment opportunities

• Fostering communication and social interaction for community integration

In Phnom Penh, OrbRom Center supports families and individuals by helping teens and young adults maximize their potential.

What a Therapy Session Might Include

Each session at OrbRom Center is designed to be functional, age-appropriate, and engaging. Activities may include:

• Using building blocks or puzzles to improve sequencing and visual-motor skills

• Practicing personal care routines to promote independence

• Engaging in role-play or task-based simulations like preparing a simple meal

• Using adaptive tools to support daily function

• Group-based tasks to encourage teamwork and communication

We also provide structured routines that help teens and adults with Down Syndrome manage transitions, follow instructions, and increase focus.

Individualized Planning and Support

Before beginning any therapy, we conduct a detailed developmental and functional assessment. This helps our team identify strengths, challenges, and areas for growth. We then create a personalized therapy plan that reflects the individual’s goals—whether that’s gaining more independence at home or participating in vocational training.

At OrbRom Center, therapy is a collaborative process involving the client, family, and therapist working together toward long-term success.
