Occupational Therapy Phnom Penh: Helping Children Overcome Developmental Challenges

Every child deserves the chance to participate fully in daily activities—at home, in school, and in play. For children who face developmental challenges, occupational therapy offers specialized support to help them build essential life skills. In Phnom Penh, OrbRom Center provides professional, individualized therapy that makes a lasting difference.

The Role of Occupational Therapy in Child Development

Occupational therapy (OT) focuses on practical skills that support independence and participation in daily life:

• Fine motor skills – Writing, drawing, cutting, and using tools effectively.

• Gross motor skills – Running, jumping, climbing, and improving balance.

• Sensory processing – Managing responses to light, sound, textures, and movement.

• Self-care skills – Dressing, grooming, eating, and personal hygiene.

These abilities are vital for academic success, social confidence, and personal growth.
