In Phnom Penh, more parents are becoming aware of the challenges some Kids face with sensory processing—how they experience sound, touch, movement, and even light. For children who are overwhelmed or under-responsive to everyday stimuli, even simple activities like sitting still, focusing, or participating in group play can feel exhausting or frustrating.

This is where Development Schools like OrbRom Center step in. We offer evidence-based strategies to support Special sensory needs through structured programs rooted in occupational therapy and sensory integration.

What Is Sensory Integration?

Sensory integration refers to how the brain organizes and interprets information from the senses—touch, movement, vision, sound, and more. When sensory processing works well, a child can engage in daily life comfortably. But when it’s disorganized, a child may:

  • Avoid being touched or seek out rough play

  • Be overly sensitive to sounds, lights, or tags in clothing

  • Have trouble balancing or coordinating movement

  • Struggle with attention and self-regulation

These challenges are common in children with autism, ADHD, and other developmental differences—but they are also present in many children without a formal diagnosis.

Why Sensory Activities Are Essential for Growth

At OrbRom Center in Phnom Penh, we design individualized therapy sessions that incorporate sensory tools like therapy balls, swings, weighted blankets, and obstacle courses. The goal isn’t just to “calm” the child—it’s to help them organize their body and mind so they can:

  • Focus on learning

  • Regulate their emotions

  • Engage meaningfully with others

As seen in the photo above, our therapists guide children through activities like prone extension on therapy balls—a powerful movement that builds postural control, spatial awareness, and core strength. These activities are carefully structured based on the child’s sensory profile and therapeutic goals.

When Should Parents Seek Sensory Support?

Many families in Phnom Penh wonder: “Is my child just active—or do they need help?” Here are a few signs that your child may benefit from sensory integration therapy:

  • Meltdowns during transitions or noisy environments

  • Constant movement or trouble sitting still

  • Delayed motor coordination

  • Frequent crashing, bumping, or spinning

  • Avoidance of messy textures or loud sounds

At OrbRom, we provide professional Occupational Therapy Services that begin with a thorough evaluation of your child’s sensory and motor needs. From there, we create a personalized intervention plan using proven techniques to improve function and comfort.

The Impact of Sensory Integration Therapy

Over time, children who receive sensory integration therapy:

  • Show improved attention and behavior in school

  • Gain better body awareness and coordination

  • Learn to self-regulate using personalized strategies

  • Experience more success in daily routines (e.g., dressing, feeding, play)

Families often report that children are happier, calmer, and more engaged after regular sessions. What looks like play is actually brain work—and at OrbRom, we make every moment count.

Your child deserves to feel secure, regulated, and successful. Whether they need help adjusting to sensory input or building foundational motor skills, OrbRom Center in Phnom Penh provides the structured, compassionate support they need to thrive.
