Sensory Integration Activities in Occupational Therapy

Sensory integration activities are a cornerstone of occupational therapy for children with sensory processing challenges. At OrbRom Center in Phnom Penh, we use purposeful sensory exercises to help children better understand and respond to the world around them, improving their focus, emotional regulation, motor skills, and overall well-being.

Through carefully structured play involving different textures, movements, and sounds, we support children’s ability to organize sensory information, leading to greater success in daily life.

Why Sensory Integration Matters

Sensory processing refers to how the brain receives, organizes, and responds to information from the senses. When a child’s sensory system is not working efficiently, they may experience:

• Over-responsiveness (e.g., avoiding touch, loud sounds, or certain textures)

• Under-responsiveness (e.g., seeking intense sensory input)

• Poor motor coordination and balance

• Attention and behavior challenges

Sensory integration activities in occupational therapy provide the right type of sensory input to help children adapt and function more effectively at home, at school, and in social environments.

How OrbRom Center Uses Sensory Integration in Therapy

At OrbRom Center, our occupational therapy sessions are filled with fun, sensory-rich activities designed to match each child’s specific sensory needs. Some examples include:

• Heavy Work Exercises: Pushing, pulling, lifting, and carrying objects to provide calming deep pressure input.

• Balance and Coordination Games: Activities that challenge the vestibular system (sense of balance) and proprioceptive system (body awareness).

• Tactile Exploration: Using different textures through toys, mats, ropes, and weighted objects to support touch processing.

These exercises help children learn how to process sensory input more efficiently, leading to improvements in motor skills, self-regulation, and academic readiness.
