Starting therapy for your child—whether it’s speech, occupational, or behavioral intervention—can feel overwhelming. But one thing is clear: when parents are informed, supported, and involved, children thrive. In Phnom Penh, more families are discovering how early involvement and a positive parent-clinic relationship can lay the foundation for long-term success.

The Role of Parents in Early Intervention

No one understands a child better than their parents. That’s why parental insights and collaboration are essential parts of any effective therapy plan. Whether a child is being assessed for speech delays or enrolled in occupational therapy to support sensory integration, the parents’ role begins on day one—starting with the intake session.

At Speech Therapy Phnom Penh and Occupational Therapy Phnom Penh, families are welcomed into the process with warmth and clarity. Our teams prioritize building relationships that foster trust, reduce anxiety, and empower parents with the tools to support their children at home and beyond.

What to Expect at Your First Appointment

Your child’s first visit is about more than just filling out forms. It’s a chance for therapists to get to know your child’s personality, strengths, and challenges—and for you to ask questions, express concerns, and share your goals.

Here’s what typically happens:

  • A welcoming consultation with a licensed therapist

  • A guided discussion of developmental history, behaviors, and needs

  • Introduction to next steps, including assessment or therapy recommendations

  • Tips and resources for supporting your child at home

These early conversations help shape personalized therapy programs that reflect your child’s unique needs.

Creating a Positive Therapy Experience

A child who feels safe and understood is more likely to engage in therapy and make progress. That’s why our team focuses on creating a family-friendly environment in Phnom Penh where both parents and children feel supported.

We encourage caregivers to:

  • Participate in goal setting

  • Ask for strategies to use at home

  • Stay involved in progress reviews

  • Celebrate small wins along the way

Parents who are actively engaged in therapy sessions often report faster, more sustainable progress in their children’s communication, motor skills, and confidence.
