Finding the right sensory tool for a child can be difficult. A child who covers their ears in a noisy classroom may need something very different from a child who seeks movement or enjoys squeezing objects. At the OrbRom Sensory Shop in Phnom Penh, parents, teachers, and therapists can explore practical products for different sensory needs.

Sensory tools can be useful at home, at school, and during therapy. The key is to choose a product for a specific purpose, observe how the child responds, and adjust when needed.

Sensory tools for sound sensitivity

Busy classrooms, shopping centres, and school events can feel overwhelming for children who are sensitive to noise. Noise cancelling headphones for children can reduce some background sound and help make these environments more comfortable. They may be useful during travel, assemblies, or other noisy activities.

Movement and body awareness tools

Some children enjoy rocking or gentle movement. A sensory rocking chair gives them a way to move while seated. A sensory peapod offers a snug space for children who enjoy feeling enclosed. These products can be introduced as options during play or quiet time, based on the child’s preferences.

Fine motor and tactile activities

Our Sensory Therapy Exercise Putty Set gives children something to squeeze, stretch, roll, and pinch. These activities can be used to practise hand strength, finger coordination, and fine motor skills through play. The set includes different resistance levels, allowing an adult to select an appropriate starting point.

Weighted sensory products

The shop also offers a weighted lap blanket, weighted sensory blanket, and weighted shoulder wrap. Some children enjoy the feeling of gentle pressure during a supervised quiet activity. Others may dislike it, so a child should be able to express their preference and remove the item easily. Ask for individual guidance before choosing a weighted product, particularly for a young child.

How do you choose the right sensory product?

Start with the situation you want to support. Is your child uncomfortable with noise? Looking for movement? Interested in hands-on activities? Then try one suitable tool and watch whether it helps the child participate comfortably.

A sensory toy or therapy product does not replace an individual assessment or intervention plan. If sensory difficulties regularly affect learning, play, sleep, or everyday routines, an occupational therapist can help you understand your child’s needs and choose suitable strategies.
