Occupational Therapy for Children with Physical Disabilities

Children with physical disabilities face a unique set of challenges that impact their mobility, coordination, and independence in everyday life. In Phnom Penh, families are increasingly turning to occupational therapy at OrbRom Center to help their children gain greater control, strength, and confidence. Our tailored, evidence-based programs support children living with conditions such as cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, spina bifida, and other neuromuscular disorders.

Through compassionate care and personalized interventions, OrbRom Center helps children make meaningful progress in daily tasks—while building the foundation for lifelong independence.

What Physical Disabilities Can Impact

Children with physical disabilities may struggle with a wide range of motor and functional difficulties. These can include:

• Limited range of motion or joint stiffness

• Muscle weakness or poor tone

• Difficulty with posture, balance, and coordination

• Delayed gross and fine motor skills

• Fatigue or pain during movement

These challenges can make it harder for children to dress themselves, play with others, write, eat independently, or participate in school. Occupational therapy helps to close that gap.

How Occupational Therapy Helps

At OrbRom Center in Phnom Penh, we work with children of all ages to improve functional abilities and adaptive independence. Therapy is based on each child’s needs and may include:

• Stretching and strengthening exercises

• Joint mobility and range of motion work

• Fine motor training for tasks like grasping and writing

• Adaptive strategies for dressing, feeding, and hygiene

• Use of assistive devices such as splints, adaptive utensils, or mobility aids

All sessions are child-centered and developmentally appropriate, designed to engage and encourage each child at their own pace.

Starting with an Assessment

Each child’s therapy begins with a comprehensive developmental assessment to evaluate strengths, limitations, and potential goals. This assessment helps our therapists develop a custom therapy plan focused on increasing the child’s abilities in daily life and classroom participation.

We also work closely with families to provide home exercises, progress updates, and advice on adapting the child’s environment for better accessibility.
