Occupational Therapy Phnom Penh: Supporting Every Child’s Path to Independence

Children learn through movement, play, and exploration. But for some, challenges with motor skills, sensory processing, or daily routines can make this learning process harder. Occupational therapy offers the tools and guidance they need to overcome these challenges. In Phnom Penh, OrbRom Center delivers expert therapy programs tailored to each child’s needs.

What Is Occupational Therapy for Children?

Occupational therapy (OT) focuses on helping children gain the skills needed for everyday life, including:

• Fine motor skills – Holding a pencil, tying shoelaces, using utensils.

• Gross motor skills – Climbing, balancing, and moving with coordination.

• Sensory regulation – Managing reactions to touch, noise, or light.

• Self-care – Dressing, brushing teeth, eating independently.

These skills are essential for academic success, social participation, and personal confidence.

Signs Your Child Might Benefit From OT

• Struggles with handwriting or cutting paper.

• Avoids activities requiring coordination, like climbing or sports.

• Reacts strongly to sensory input such as loud sounds or certain fabrics.

• Finds dressing, buttoning, or shoe-tying difficult.

• Lacks confidence in group activities.
