Speech-language pathologist Cambodia

For many children, learning to speak, understand language, or engage in social interaction doesn’t come easily. Communication difficulties can affect everything—from forming friendships to succeeding in school and managing daily tasks. This is where a speech-language pathologist (SLP) plays a vital role.

At OrbRom Center in Phnom Penh, our licensed speech-language pathologists in Cambodia provide personalized, evidence-based therapy to support children with speech delays, language disorders, stuttering, autism-related communication needs, and more. Whether your child is nonverbal, hard to understand, or struggling to express emotions, we’re here to help them find their voice.

What Is a Speech-Language Pathologist?

A speech-language pathologist (SLP) is a trained professional who diagnoses and treats communication and feeding/swallowing disorders. In a pediatric setting like OrbRom Center, SLPs work primarily with children who need support in:

• Speech: Pronunciation, articulation, and clarity

• Language: Understanding and using words, grammar, and conversation

• Social Communication: Eye contact, turn-taking, body language, and pragmatic skills

• Fluency: Stuttering or cluttering

• Alternative Communication: Using AAC (augmentative and alternative communication) tools

• Feeding/Oral Motor: Chewing, swallowing, or oral-sensory challenges

SLPs don’t just focus on speech—they focus on functional communication that helps children succeed in everyday life.

Who Can Benefit from Seeing an SLP?

A child may benefit from speech-language therapy if they:

• Are not talking by age 2 or using very few words

• Struggle to form clear sentences or are hard to understand

• Repeat sounds or words (stuttering)

• Don’t follow instructions or seem to “tune out”

• Avoid interaction or play mostly alone

• Have difficulty with chewing, swallowing, or oral sensitivity

• Have been diagnosed with autism, ADHD, or developmental delay

At OrbRom Center, we see children from 18 months to 12 years old, with or without a formal diagnosis. We also support bilingual language development and children in both Khmer and English-speaking homes.

What Does Speech Therapy Look Like at OrbRom Center?

Therapy is designed to be play-based, engaging, and goal-oriented. After an initial assessment, our speech-language pathologist develops an individualized therapy plan based on your child’s needs and learning style.

Therapy activities may include:

• Picture cards and storybooks

• Songs, rhymes, and role play

• Visual supports and gestures

• AAC devices for nonverbal communication

• Structured conversation practice

• Games to build vocabulary, listening, and sentence structure

Sessions are typically held once or twice per week, with ongoing collaboration between the therapist and the family. We also provide home carryover strategies so that progress continues outside the clinic.

Why Families in Cambodia Are Seeking SLP Services

Our team works closely with international and Khmer families, schools, and pediatricians to create consistent, integrated support plans.

What sets our SLP services apart:

• Licensed, internationally trained therapists

• Bilingual sessions in English and Khmer

• Integration with occupational therapy and behavioral support when needed
