Occupational Therapy Phnom Penh: Helping Children Build Skills for Daily Success

At OrbRom Center in Phnom Penh, our occupational therapy programs empower children to develop the skills they need for independence, learning, and participation in daily life. Whether your child struggles with motor coordination, sensory processing, or self-care skills, our therapists provide individualized, evidence-based support that makes a real difference.

Why Occupational Therapy Is Essential

Occupational therapy (OT) helps children:

• Improve fine and gross motor skills

• Enhance hand-eye coordination for writing, sports, and play

• Strengthen self-care abilities like dressing, feeding, and hygiene

• Regulate emotions and behaviors in different environments

• Develop sensory processing skills for better focus and participation

With the right support, children can build confidence and perform everyday tasks more easily, at home, school, and in the community.

Signs Your Child May Benefit from Occupational Therapy

Consider an occupational therapy assessment if your child:

• Has trouble holding a pencil or using scissors

• Struggles with balance, coordination, or handwriting

• Avoids activities like climbing, jumping, or catching a ball

• Is overly sensitive to sounds, textures, or movement

• Has difficulty sitting still or staying focused

• Finds self-care activities frustrating or slow

Early intervention can help prevent these challenges from affecting learning and social participation.

What Happens in Occupational Therapy at OrbRom

Our sessions are engaging, hands-on, and tailored to each child’s needs.

Therapy activities may include:

• Fine motor games to improve grip and finger strength

• Gross motor obstacle courses for balance and coordination

• Sensory play to support regulation and focus

• Visual-motor activities for better handwriting and drawing

• Self-care practice for independence at home and school

We integrate tools like weighted items, fidget aids, and tactile materials to help children feel comfortable and focused.

Occupational Therapy for Children with Autism, ADHD, and Special Needs

OT is especially valuable for children with developmental differences, supporting:

• Daily living skills for independence

• Sensory processing for calmer participation in activities

• Social skills through structured play and group tasks

• Emotional regulation to manage transitions and challenges

Our therapists work closely with families and teachers to create consistent strategies across environments.

The Role of Parents in Occupational Therapy

We involve parents in every step of the therapy process, providing guidance on:

• Creating supportive home environments

• Using play to build skills naturally

• Incorporating sensory breaks into daily routines

• Encouraging independence in self-care tasks
