Occupational Therapy Phnom Penh: Sensory Integration Therapy for Children

At OrbRom Center in Phnom Penh, our occupational therapy programs include sensory integration therapy — a highly effective approach for children who struggle with processing sights, sounds, textures, movements, or other sensory inputs. When sensory processing is challenging, children may have difficulty focusing in school, participating in play, or managing their emotions. Our goal is to help them feel calm, focused, and ready to engage in daily activities.

What Is Sensory Integration Therapy?

Sensory integration therapy is designed to help the brain better interpret and respond to sensory information. It targets:

• Tactile processing – managing reactions to touch and textures

• Auditory processing – coping with sounds in the environment

• Visual processing – organizing and interpreting what they see

• Vestibular processing – balance, coordination, and movement control

• Proprioception – body awareness and movement planning

Signs Your Child May Benefit from Sensory Integration Therapy

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

• Covers ears or avoids noisy environments

• Refuses certain clothing due to texture

• Has difficulty sitting still or constantly seeks movement

• Overreacts to touch or physical contact

• Gets overwhelmed in busy or bright places

• Struggles with coordination and balance

Inside a Sensory Integration Session at OrbRom Center

Our sensory integration sessions are active, engaging, and highly personalized. Activities may include:

• Swinging or rocking to improve balance and vestibular processing

• Playing in a sensory bin with rice, sand, or beans for tactile exploration

• Obstacle courses to build coordination and body awareness

• Deep pressure activities, like rolling in a therapy mat, to promote calming

• Visual tracking games to strengthen eye coordination

We create a safe, non-judgmental environment where children can explore and respond to sensory experiences at their own pace.

Specialized Support for Autism, ADHD, and Developmental Needs

Children with autism or ADHD often benefit significantly from sensory integration therapy. Our approach includes:

• Predictable routines to reduce anxiety

• Controlled exposure to challenging sensory inputs

• Strategies for self-regulation in overwhelming situations

• Collaboration with our speech therapy and educational teams for whole-child support

How Parents Can Support Sensory Needs at Home

• Use sensory tools like weighted blankets, fidgets, or noise-canceling headphones

• Create quiet spaces at home for calming down

• Build sensory play into daily routines, such as baking, gardening, or swimming

• Recognize and respect sensory boundaries while gently encouraging new experiences
