At OrbRom Center, we believe every child deserves an education tailored to their needs, fostering growth and confidence. Preparing children with special needs for mainstream education is a vital part of our mission. Our center, located in Toul Kork, Phnom Penh, provides a supportive environment where children develop the skills, resilience, and social understanding needed to transition smoothly into mainstream schools.
Understanding the Needs of Each Child:
Every child learns differently, and our approach reflects that. Our team of professionals, including special needs teachers, occupational therapists, and support staff, assesses each child’s unique abilities, strengths, and areas for growth. By creating personalized learning plans, we ensure each child is set up for success. These plans cover key developmental areas like communication, motor skills, and academic readiness, which are crucial for mainstream school environments.
Structured Learning with Visual Supports and Sensory Integration:
Our classrooms are equipped with visual aids and supports that help children understand and follow routines, develop language skills, and gain independence. Additionally, we have a sensory room designed to provide a calming space for sensory regulation, which many children benefit from before joining mainstream settings. These tools build essential skills, helping students gain focus and confidence, which will be vital as they step into larger, less structured classrooms.
Inclusive Readiness Program for Social and Academic Skills:
The Inclusive School Readiness Program at OrbRom Center introduces children to the basic academic skills and social interactions they will encounter in mainstream schools. Through small group activities and individual sessions, children learn turn-taking, listening, and responding in a classroom setting. Our program also emphasizes essential pre-academic skills, including early literacy, math, and basic classroom routines.
Building Communication Skills for Social Interaction:
Effective communication is key to navigating any social environment. At OrbRom, we work on building verbal and non-verbal communication skills, incorporating tools like Proloquo2Go for children who benefit from augmentative communication aids. Our approach empowers students to express themselves, understand instructions, and engage with peers and teachers confidently.
Collaboration with Families for Consistent Growth:
Family involvement is central to our approach at OrbRom. We keep families informed and actively engaged in their child’s learning journey, providing guidance on reinforcing skills at home. By working closely with parents, we create a continuous learning environment that supports each child’s development beyond the classroom.
Seamless Transitions with International School Collaborations:
Our center aims to create seamless transitions for students as they move from specialized programs to mainstream schools. We collaborate with international schools to ensure they understand each child’s needs and strengths. This approach not only supports academic success but also promotes inclusion by fostering an understanding between our students and their future classmates.
OrbRom Center is dedicated to empowering children with special needs by preparing them for a fulfilling educational experience in mainstream schools. Through individualized support, skill-building programs, and family collaboration, we help each child grow with confidence. Together, we are building a path to inclusion and success for every child, one step at a time.
