In Phnom Penh, more parents are recognizing the importance of early intervention—even in infancy. Occupational therapy isn’t just for school-age children. In fact, babies can benefit tremendously from early therapy that supports sensory processing, motor development, and foundational skills for future learning.
At OrbRom Center, we work with infants and their families to enhance development through play-based activities, such as sitting support, grasping, reaching, and exploring textures. These early experiences shape how babies move, react to their environment, and bond with caregivers.
Why Occupational Therapy for Babies?
Babies develop at different rates, but there are key milestones that indicate healthy growth—like rolling over, sitting independently, tracking with their eyes, or grasping objects. When these milestones are delayed or appear uneven, occupational therapy can help stimulate development in a safe and age-appropriate way.
We support:
-
Gross motor development (balance, sitting, crawling)
-
Fine motor skills (grasping, finger play, reaching)
-
Sensory integration (responding to sound, touch, and movement)
-
Regulation (calming, bonding, feeding routines)
Parent-Led, Therapist-Guided Play
At OrbRom Center in Phnom Penh, our sessions are designed to engage both the baby and their caregiver. We guide parents on how to use everyday play and interaction as powerful tools for development. Simple items like a ball, textured toys, or tummy-time mats become therapeutic instruments that promote movement, focus, and comfort.
Therapists also help parents understand cues from their baby—when they are overwhelmed, when they’re curious, or when they’re ready to try something new.
Supporting Development at Home and Beyond
The goal of infant occupational therapy is to create strong neurological and motor foundations for future skills like crawling, walking, and talking. Babies who struggle with low muscle tone, feeding difficulties, or sensory sensitivity often make big gains when therapy starts early.
We help families understand what’s typical and what’s not, provide early developmental assessments when needed, and tailor therapy programs to each child’s unique pace of learning.
Early Support Creates Lifelong Benefits
If you’re unsure whether your baby is developing on track—or if you simply want to support your child’s growth in the best way possible—occupational therapy at OrbRom Center can help. Don’t wait for preschool. Start building strong sensory and motor foundations now.
