Occupational Therapy Phnom Penh: Helping Children Build Skills for Independence

Every child deserves the opportunity to learn, play, and participate fully in daily life. For children who face challenges with coordination, sensory processing, or self-care, occupational therapy can make a life-changing difference. In Phnom Penh, OrbRom Center provides expert, individualized therapy to help children reach their fullest potential.

Why Occupational Therapy Is Important for Children

Occupational therapy supports the skills children need for everyday activities, including:

• Fine motor skills – Holding a pencil, buttoning clothes, using scissors.

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

• Sensory regulation – Managing responses to sights, sounds, and textures.

• Self-care – Dressing, eating, and hygiene routines.

These skills form the foundation for success at school, at home, and in social environments.

Many children we work with experience sensory processing differences. This can mean being over- or under-sensitive to things like sound, touch, or movement.
