Pediatric Occupational Therapy

Pediatric occupational therapy isn’t just about improving motor skills—it’s about helping children participate fully in everyday life. Whether it’s learning to dress independently, sit still in class, hold a pencil, or cope with sensory overload, occupational therapy empowers children to become confident, capable, and more independent.

At OrbRom Center in Phnom Penh, we specialize in pediatric occupational therapy that is tailored to the developmental needs of children with autism, ADHD, sensory processing challenges, and motor delays. Our goal is to help every child function better at home, at school, and in the community.

What Is Pediatric Occupational Therapy?

Pediatric occupational therapy (OT) focuses on supporting children with the physical, sensory, emotional, and cognitive skills they need to do daily “occupations”—from playing with friends to tying shoelaces.

Children who benefit from OT may show:

• Poor coordination or clumsiness

• Delays in handwriting or fine motor skills

• Difficulty dressing, brushing teeth, or feeding themselves

• Sensory sensitivities to noise, textures, or movement

• Trouble sitting still or focusing on tasks

• Behavioral challenges linked to frustration or sensory overload

At OrbRom Center, we address these issues using fun, interactive, and research-backed techniques in a child-friendly environment that helps kids feel safe and engaged.

Core Areas We Address in Pediatric OT

1. Fine Motor Skills

We help children strengthen hand muscles and improve coordination to write, cut with scissors, button shirts, and manipulate toys. These are foundational skills for school readiness and daily self-care.

2. Sensory Integration

Many children experience over- or under-responsiveness to sensory input like sound, touch, or movement. Our therapists use sensory-rich activities to help children regulate their responses and improve focus, calmness, and participation.

3. Gross Motor Skills and Coordination

From climbing stairs to balancing or catching a ball, gross motor development is essential for active play and physical confidence. We use obstacle courses, swings, and movement games to build strength and coordination.

4. Self-Help and Daily Living Skills

Tasks like dressing, toileting, and feeding are part of a child’s daily routine. Pediatric OT at OrbRom Center focuses on increasing independence and reducing reliance on adults for basic needs.

5. Attention and Executive Functioning

Our occupational therapists support children in building attention span, working memory, and organization—skills that help them succeed academically and socially.
