Taking your child to their first speech therapy session can feel like a big step. For many parents in Phnom Penh, it’s a mix of hope, concern, and curiosity. Will the therapist understand your child’s needs? How will your child respond? What actually happens during a session?

At OrbRom Center, we know that the first visit sets the tone for your child’s speech therapy journey. That’s why we create a welcoming, engaging environment that focuses on building trust, comfort, and connection from the start.

The Importance of the First Visit

The first session is not just about assessment—it’s about getting to know your child. Our team takes time to observe how your child interacts, plays, communicates, and responds to new people and environments. It’s also an opportunity for parents to share concerns, ask questions, and feel supported.

This early insight helps us create an individualized therapy plan that fits your child’s personality, learning style, and communication needs.

What Happens During the First Speech Therapy Session?

Here’s what you can expect at your child’s initial visit to OrbRom Center:

  1. Warm Welcome: We greet your child in a calm, friendly manner to ease any nervousness.

  2. Play-Based Interaction: We use toys, books, and pretend play to observe communication naturally.

  3. Parent Interview: You’ll share your child’s developmental history, current challenges, and any specific goals you have.

  4. Basic Speech and Language Screening: Depending on your child’s age and attention span, we may conduct simple tests to check sounds, vocabulary, understanding, and more.

  5. Discussion and Next Steps: We explain what we observed and recommend next steps—whether it’s ongoing therapy, further assessment, or strategies to use at home.

The focus is always on creating a positive experience for both parent and child.

How You Can Prepare

To help your child feel at ease:

  • Talk about the visit beforehand using positive language: “You’ll meet a new friend who plays games and helps you talk.”

  • Bring a favorite toy or comfort item.

  • Arrive early to allow your child to adjust to the new environment.

Also, prepare any documents (e.g., developmental reports, school feedback, previous assessments) that might help the therapist understand your child’s needs.
