The Power of Early Speech Development

Speech and language development is more than just saying words — it’s about expressing needs, forming relationships, and understanding the world. For many children, these skills emerge naturally. But for others, speech delay can interfere with learning and socialization. Catching signs early and intervening with the right strategies can dramatically change a child’s path.

In Phnom Penh, families often ask, “How do I know if my child needs speech therapy?” Look out for these signs:

• Limited vocabulary compared to peers

• Difficulty forming simple sentences

• Trouble following instructions

• Frustration when trying to communicate

Play-Based Speech Therapy: What It Looks Like

At OrbRom Center, we use evidence-based, child-centered therapy rooted in play. Why? Because play creates a low-pressure environment where children can explore words, gestures, and expressions without fear of making mistakes.

Therapists might:

• Engage in pretend play (like cooking, shopping, or storytelling)

• Use interactive books or puppets

• Sing songs or practice nursery rhymes

• Build with blocks while modeling words like “up,” “more,” or “tall”

This method works exceptionally well in building not just speech clarity but also attention span, emotional connection, and willingness to communicate.

Parental Involvement: A Key to Progress

Therapy sessions are only part of the solution. The real magic often happens at home. At OrbRom Center, our therapists coach parents so they can reinforce communication strategies in daily routines — at the dinner table, during playtime, or even while walking in the park.

Simple strategies like repeating words, expanding on what your child says (“Doggy!” → “Yes, a big brown doggy!”), and offering choices (“Do you want apple or banana?”) can make a big impact.
