In Phnom Penh, parents and educators are increasingly turning to creative play as a powerful tool for building children’s social, emotional, and communication skills. For children with developmental delays, speech challenges, or learning differences, structured art and play activities can do more than entertain—they nurture confidence, encourage interaction, and support language growth.

At OrbRom Center, creative play is an essential part of our intervention programs, helping children express themselves and connect with others.

Why Creative Play Matters for Special Needs Development
Children with conditions like autism, speech delays, or ADHD often struggle with verbal expression and peer interaction. Creative play—such as art, crafts, and hands-on building—gives them alternative ways to communicate and regulate emotions.

Benefits of creative play include:

  • Improved fine motor coordination

  • Enhanced imagination and symbolic thinking

  • Opportunities to practice social skills (sharing, turn-taking, asking for help)

  • A boost in confidence as children complete projects and express ideas

For many children, art becomes a bridge between their thoughts and the world around them.

Integrating Therapy Goals Into Play
Creative activities aren’t just fun—they can be customized to reinforce therapy goals. For example:

  • A speech therapist may use arts and crafts to practice descriptive language (“What color is your rocket?”)

  • An occupational therapist may encourage cutting and gluing to improve hand strength and coordination

  • Educators may use pretend play to teach routines, emotions, and sequencing

This integrated approach helps children generalize skills from the therapy room into real life.
