When a child struggles with everyday tasks like buttoning a shirt, holding a pencil, or staying calm in noisy environments, it’s more than just a phase—it’s a sign they may need extra support. At OrbRom Center in Phnom Penh, our occupational therapy program helps children develop the essential life skills they need to thrive in school, at home, and in the community.
The caring professional pictured above represents the spirit of our work—dedicated, skilled, and always ready to help children reach their full potential. Through personalized, play-based therapy, we empower children to move forward confidently, one step at a time.
What is Pediatric Occupational Therapy?
Occupational therapy (OT) focuses on helping children build independence in their “occupations,” which include daily routines such as eating, dressing, writing, playing, and focusing in school. For many children with developmental delays, autism, ADHD, or motor challenges, these activities can be overwhelming.
OrbRom Center offers evidence-based occupational therapy in Phnom Penh to address these difficulties in a fun, engaging, and therapeutic environment tailored to each child’s needs.
What Challenges Can Occupational Therapy Help With?
If your child has difficulty with focus, balance, fine motor control, or self-regulation, OT may be the answer. At OrbRom Center, we help children with:
1. Fine Motor Skills Development
Children with poor fine motor coordination may struggle with handwriting, cutting with scissors, or even holding small objects. Our therapists use hands-on, creative activities to build hand strength and coordination, helping children succeed in the classroom and beyond.
2. Sensory Integration
Some children are overly sensitive to sounds, lights, textures, or movement, while others don’t respond to sensory input at all. This can affect their ability to engage, stay calm, or transition between tasks. Our sensory gym provides the ideal space for children to explore and regulate sensory input in a safe, structured way.
3. Gross Motor Skills and Physical Coordination
Running, climbing, jumping, and balancing are essential physical skills. We use fun and therapeutic movement-based exercises to develop strength, coordination, and body awareness—improving both physical and emotional confidence.
4. Emotional and Behavioral Regulation
Children who are easily frustrated or struggle with attention and transitions benefit from OT strategies that improve emotional control, patience, and the ability to follow routines. Through structured, predictable sessions, we help children develop the tools they need to manage emotions and behavior.
