Occupational Therapy Phnom Penh: Developing Skills for Independence and Confidence

At OrbRom Center in Phnom Penh, we understand that every child learns, grows, and engages with the world differently. Our occupational therapy programs help children overcome developmental challenges and build the skills they need for success in school, home, and community life.

Why Occupational Therapy Matters

Occupational therapy (OT) supports children in achieving their fullest potential by focusing on:

• Fine motor skills – for handwriting, using utensils, and small object manipulation

• Gross motor skills – for balance, coordination, and physical confidence

• Sensory processing – for managing sound, touch, movement, and other sensory input

• Daily living skills – for dressing, feeding, grooming, and self-care independence

• Emotional regulation – for handling transitions, group activities, and social situations

When these skills are strengthened, children gain confidence and participate more fully in daily life.

Signs a Child May Need Occupational Therapy

Parents should consider an OT assessment if their child:

• Avoids tasks that require fine motor precision, like writing or cutting

• Has difficulty with balance, coordination, or catching a ball

• Struggles with focus and attention during class

• Shows extreme reactions to textures, sounds, or movements

• Finds self-care activities slow or frustrating

• Has difficulty following multi-step instructions

What Occupational Therapy Looks Like at OrbRom

We design sessions that are engaging, playful, and goal-oriented.

Activities might include:

• Obstacle courses for motor coordination

• Bead threading and puzzle games for fine motor skills

• Sensory play with sand, water, and textured objects

We also integrate calming strategies, such as weighted lap pads or fidget tools, to help children stay regulated.
