Building Confidence and Friendships Through Speech Therapy in Phnom Penh

Communication is about more than just speaking clearly—it’s about building relationships, sharing feelings, and feeling confident in social settings. At OrbRom Center in Phnom Penh, our speech therapy sessions focus not only on language development but also on helping children build self-esteem and social connections. By combining speech goals with engaging peer interaction, we create space where children feel safe, supported, and empowered to use their voice.

Why Confidence Is Key to Communication

Many children with speech and language difficulties hesitate to speak up—not just because of sound errors or language delays, but because of fear or past frustration. This can affect friendships, classroom participation, and emotional well-being.

Our therapy approach helps children:

• Overcome shyness or social anxiety

• Build confidence through small speaking successes

• Learn how to initiate and maintain conversations

• Feel safe using their voice with others

By practicing in a supportive, encouraging environment, children begin to believe in themselves as communicators.

Creating Social Opportunities in Speech Therapy

At OrbRom Center, we incorporate peer-based activities into therapy whenever possible. This includes:

• Partner games that encourage turn-taking and listening

• Group storytelling or show-and-tell for expressive language practice

• Role-playing real-life conversations (“asking to join a game,” “sharing ideas”)

• Celebrating every effort and progress to boost self-esteem

These methods are especially helpful for children with autism, selective mutism, or delayed social communication skills.

Supporting Friendships Beyond the Therapy Room

Speech therapy at OrbRom doesn’t end when the session ends. We work with parents and schools to help children use their new skills in everyday life. Therapists provide practical tips for:

• Encouraging positive peer interactions during playtime

• Helping children advocate for themselves in group settings

• Practicing greetings, polite requests, and emotional vocabulary

These social-emotional components are just as important as articulation or grammar—and they’re central to every child’s growth.
