At OrbRom Center in Phnom Penh, our occupational therapy programs offer targeted support for children with ADHD and focus difficulties. Occupational therapy helps these children develop strategies to manage attention, regulate emotions, and build the skills needed for school, home, and social life success.
Why Occupational Therapy Helps with ADHD
Children with ADHD often face challenges in:
-
Sustaining attention – staying on task without distraction
-
Impulse control – managing sudden urges or reactions
-
Organization – keeping belongings in order and following routines
-
Self-regulation – calming themselves when upset or overstimulated
-
Motor planning – coordinating movements for daily and academic tasks
OT uses practical, hands-on methods to improve these skills in real-world settings.
