Occupational Therapy Phnom Penh: Building Strong Foundations for Learning and Daily Life

For many children, the skills needed for school, play, and self-care don’t develop naturally without guidance. Occupational therapy helps bridge these gaps, supporting children to gain independence, confidence, and the ability to participate fully in daily life. In Phnom Penh, OrbRom Center offers personalized occupational therapy programs that make a real difference.

What Occupational Therapy Does for Children

Occupational therapy focuses on improving:

• Fine motor skills – Essential for handwriting, cutting with scissors, and managing clothing fasteners.

• Gross motor skills – Balance, coordination, and core strength.

• Sensory processing – Helping children respond appropriately to sights, sounds, textures, and movement.

• Self-care routines – Dressing, feeding, brushing teeth, and managing personal hygiene.

These abilities are key for both academic success and daily independence.
