Occupational Therapy Phnom Penh: Supporting Children in Every Step of Development

At OrbRom Center in Phnom Penh, our occupational therapy programs are designed to help children overcome developmental challenges, strengthen essential life skills, and feel confident in their daily activities. Whether your child needs help with motor coordination, sensory regulation, or independence in self-care, our team provides personalized, evidence-based support.

The Benefits of Occupational Therapy for Children

Occupational therapy (OT) plays a vital role in:

• Fine motor skills – writing, cutting, buttoning clothes, tying shoelaces

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

• Sensory processing – managing how the brain reacts to sights, sounds, textures, and movement

• Daily living skills – dressing, feeding, brushing teeth, and organizing belongings

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

Through OT, children develop the skills needed to succeed at home, school, and in their communities.

Signs That Occupational Therapy Could Help

You may want to schedule an OT assessment if your child:

• Struggles with handwriting or using small tools

• Has difficulty with balance and coordination

• Avoids certain textures, sounds, or physical activities

• Has trouble staying focused during schoolwork

• Takes longer than peers to complete daily self-care tasks

• Shows anxiety or frustration in new environments
