In Phnom Penh, many parents face a dual challenge: a child who struggles to communicate and experiences emotional or behavioral difficulties. These two issues are often connected. When a child cannot express themselves clearly—whether due to speech delays, language comprehension difficulties, or social communication deficits—it can lead to frustration, withdrawal, or emotional outbursts. At OrbRom Center, we recognize this connection and offer a holistic approach to speech therapy in Phnom Penh that addresses both language and emotional well-being.
The image above shows a moment of quiet tension—a child struggling to engage while a therapist gently guides him. These are the real moments behind the scenes of therapy, where empathy, patience, and skill come together to help a child be seen, heard, and supported.
The Link Between Communication and Emotional Health
Communication isn’t just about words—it’s how children express thoughts, needs, and feelings. When speech and language are delayed or disordered, children may:
-
Struggle to ask for help
-
Become easily overwhelmed
-
Shut down in group settings
-
Be misinterpreted as “misbehaving” when they’re actually anxious or confused
At OrbRom Center, our therapists are trained to spot the signs of emotional distress linked to speech and language issues. Through integrated speech therapy, we help children:
-
Improve expressive and receptive language
-
Develop emotional vocabulary
-
Use strategies like visual schedules and calm-down scripts
-
Feel more in control of their communication
