Occupational Therapy Phnom Penh: Developing Skills That Last a Lifetime

At OrbRom Center in Phnom Penh, we believe every child should have the opportunity to grow, learn, and thrive. Our occupational therapy programs focus on helping children develop the skills they need for everyday life — from writing and dressing to playing, focusing, and engaging with others.

Why Occupational Therapy Is So Valuable

Occupational therapy (OT) supports children in:

• Fine motor skills – essential for writing, drawing, and using small objects

• Gross motor skills – needed for running, climbing, and balancing

• Sensory processing – understanding and responding appropriately to sights, sounds, textures, and movement

• Self-care skills – dressing, brushing teeth, eating independently

• Emotional regulation – managing frustration, transitions, and group activities

With the right support, children gain independence, confidence, and the ability to participate fully at home, school, and in the community.

When to Consider Occupational Therapy

You may want to book an occupational therapy assessment if your child:

• Struggles with handwriting or hand control

• Avoids physical play or sports

• Has trouble with balance and coordination

• Reacts strongly to certain textures, sounds, or lighting

• Has difficulty staying focused in class

• Is slow to learn self-care routines

Inside an Occupational Therapy Session at OrbRom

Our sessions are interactive, goal-driven, and tailored to your child’s needs.

Therapy activities might include:

• Balance and climbing games for gross motor development

• Bead threading, puzzles, and art for fine motor skills

• Sensory play with tactile materials to encourage regulation

• Handwriting and drawing practice with adaptive tools

• Daily living simulations like preparing snacks or organizing belongings

We also use weighted items, calming spaces, and sensory-friendly strategies to ensure children feel safe and supported.
