Developmental assessments Cambodia

Every child develops at their own pace—but when delays in speech, motor skills, learning, or behavior become noticeable, a developmental assessment is the first and most important step in getting answers. In Cambodia, where awareness and support services for neurodevelopmental conditions are still emerging, the need for accurate and compassionate assessments is growing rapidly.

At OrbRom Center in Phnom Penh, we specialize in developmental assessments in Cambodia that identify a child’s strengths, challenges, and unique learning profile. Whether you’re concerned about autism, ADHD, speech delay, or school readiness, our goal is to give you clear information and a practical path forward.

What Is a Developmental Assessment?

A developmental assessment is a structured process that evaluates how a child is progressing in key areas such as:

• Communication (speech and understanding)

• Cognitive skills (problem-solving, memory)

• Motor skills (fine and gross motor coordination)

• Social-emotional skills (interaction, regulation)

• Daily living abilities (self-care, routines)

These assessments help identify developmental delays, learning differences, or neurodevelopmental conditions like autism, ADHD, and global developmental delay.

The earlier a delay is identified, the more effective early intervention can be. That’s why developmental assessments are a cornerstone of care at OrbRom Center.

When Should a Child Be Assessed?

You may want to consider a developmental assessment if your child:

• Isn’t speaking or using words by age 2

• Avoids eye contact or social interaction

• Has difficulty following instructions

• Struggles with play, attention, or transitions

• Is not meeting developmental milestones

• Has been referred by a school, teacher, or pediatrician

We assess children as young as 18 months through age 12, using internationally recognized tools adapted for the Cambodian context.

What Tools Are Used at OrbRom Center?

At OrbRom Center in Phnom Penh, our developmental assessments are thorough and culturally appropriate. Some of the standardized tools we use include:

Vineland-3

A trusted tool for measuring adaptive behaviors like communication, socialization, and daily living skills.

WRAT-5

Evaluates reading, writing, and math achievement to screen for learning difficulties.

Sensory Profiles

Used to assess how a child processes sensory information and how it affects behavior and function.

Parent/Caregiver Interviews & Observations

To capture the child’s behavior, strengths, and needs across home and school settings.

These assessments are not only diagnostic—they guide interventions, inform therapy plans, and help with school placement or accommodations.

Why Are Developmental Assessments Important in Cambodia?

In Cambodia, many children are still misdiagnosed or not diagnosed at all. Behavioral challenges, learning difficulties, or communication delays are often misunderstood—and as a result, children may miss out on support that could change their lives.

Developmental assessments help identify what a child needs before they fall behind. They give families the confidence to act early, advocate effectively, and find the right services.

At OrbRom, we’re proud to be one of the few centers in Phnom Penh offering professional, reliable developmental testing for both Khmer and international families.
