Occupational Therapy Phnom Penh: Empowering Children to Succeed Every Day

At OrbRom Center in Phnom Penh, our occupational therapy programs are designed to help children overcome challenges in motor skills, sensory processing, and daily routines. We focus on practical, hands-on learning that builds independence, confidence, and success in school and life.

Why Occupational Therapy Matters

Occupational therapy (OT) supports children in developing the skills they need to participate fully in everyday life. This includes:

• Fine motor skills – holding pencils, using scissors, fastening buttons

• Gross motor skills – climbing, running, balancing, and coordination

• Sensory regulation – managing how the brain processes sound, touch, movement, and light

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

• Social and emotional development – handling frustration, following routines, joining group activities

When children master these skills, they gain the confidence and independence to thrive.

Signs Your Child May Need Occupational Therapy

An occupational therapy assessment can help determine the right support if your child:

• Struggles with handwriting or fine motor activities

• Avoids climbing, running, or other physical play

• Has difficulty balancing or coordinating movements

• Overreacts to sounds, lights, or textures

• Finds daily self-care routines challenging or frustrating

• Has trouble sitting still or focusing on tasks

What to Expect in Occupational Therapy at OrbRom

Our sessions are fun, interactive, and personalized to each child’s needs.

Therapy activities may include:

• Obstacle courses to improve coordination and motor planning

• Beading, drawing, and craft projects to strengthen fine motor skills

• Sensory play with water, sand, and textured materials for regulation

• Handwriting exercises using adaptive grips and tools

• Daily routine practice to build independence in self-care tasks

We also use weighted items, calming strategies, and sensory-friendly environments to help children stay engaged.

Supporting Children with Autism, ADHD, and Special Needs
