Teacher Training for Inclusive Education in Cambodia

Inclusive education is more than a teaching approach—it’s a commitment to ensuring every child, regardless of ability or background, has access to meaningful learning experiences. In Cambodia, where special education is still developing, teacher training for inclusive education is essential to bridge the gap between mainstream classrooms and the needs of neurodiverse learners.

At OrbRom Center, we empower educators through specialized teacher training programs designed to promote understanding, confidence, and practical classroom strategies. The photo above captures the spirit of collaboration and professional growth that drives our mission forward.

Why Inclusive Education Matters in Cambodia

Many children in Cambodia face barriers to learning due to autism, ADHD, speech and language delays, or learning disabilities such as dyslexia. Without trained teachers, these students may fall behind or be excluded altogether from classroom activities.

Inclusive education means:

• Valuing diversity in the classroom

• Adjusting teaching strategies to meet different learning styles

• Supporting children with both academic and behavioral needs

• Using visuals, routines, and sensory-friendly tools

• Collaborating with families and therapists

And most importantly, it starts with the teacher.

What OrbRom’s Teacher Training Includes

Our teacher training for inclusive education is practical, hands-on, and rooted in real classroom needs. Whether you’re a preschool teacher, primary school educator, or school leader, we provide the tools to build inclusive learning spaces.

1. Understanding Neurodiversity

Teachers learn about common developmental conditions such as:

• Autism Spectrum Disorder

• ADHD

• Down syndrome

• Selective mutism

• Dyslexia and dyscalculia

We explore how these affect learning, communication, and behavior—and what teachers can do to support each child.

We train teachers in:

• Visual supports and classroom routines
