Children with sensory processing challenges often experience the world more intensely—lights feel brighter, noises seem louder, and their bodies can feel out of sync. In Phnom Penh, more families are turning to simple, affordable tools to help their children manage these overwhelming sensations. One of the most effective tools used at OrbRom Center is the sensory peapod.

The sensory peapod is a soft, inflatable wrap-around chair that provides calming deep pressure, mimicking the feeling of a hug. For children with autism, ADHD, or sensory integration difficulties, this gentle squeeze can be incredibly grounding. At OrbRom Center, we use the sensory peapod as part of our therapeutic programs to help children regulate their bodies, improve focus, and manage transitions more smoothly.

How the Sensory Peapod Works

The sensory peapod delivers what is known as deep pressure input—a type of proprioceptive feedback that calms the nervous system and enhances body awareness. When a child sits inside the peapod, it gently compresses around them, providing tactile and proprioceptive stimulation that:

  • Reduces anxiety and hyperactivity

  • Helps with focus and emotional regulation

  • Promotes stillness and calm

  • Increases self-awareness and spatial orientation

The peapod also supports vestibular input when used with rocking motion, making it a versatile sensory tool.

At OrbRom Center in Phnom Penh, we incorporate the Sensory Peapod into sensory diets, calming routines, and during transitions when children need extra support to shift from one activity to another.

Real-World Use: From Therapy Room to Living Room

What makes the sensory peapod especially valuable for families in Phnom Penh is its practicality. For just $65, it provides a portable, durable, and easy-to-use sensory tool that’s effective both in therapy and at home.

In therapy, OrbRom occupational therapists use the peapod:

  • Before structured learning tasks

  • During emotional regulation practice

  • As a part of calming-down routines

  • After stimulating gross motor activities

At home, it can become a favorite “safe space” for your child:

  • During after-school wind-down time

  • Before bedtime for a smoother sleep transition

  • When a child feels overstimulated or overwhelmed

  • While reading or playing quietly

The peapod empowers children to regulate their own sensory needs. It’s not just a product—it’s a consistent part of their emotional toolkit.

Who Benefits Most from the Sensory Peapod?

At OrbRom Center Phnom Penh, we’ve seen how impactful the sensory peapod can be for children enrolled in our Special Needs Intensive Intervention program, especially those with:

  • Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)

  • Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)

  • Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD)

  • Anxiety or emotional regulation difficulties

These children often experience dysregulation—meltdowns, shutdowns, or fidgeting—when they don’t have access to appropriate sensory input. The peapod helps them return to a calm, alert state where learning and communication are possible.
