Speech Therapy Phnom Penh: Building Communication Skills That Last a Lifetime

Every child has ideas, thoughts, and feelings they want to share. But for some, expressing those ideas clearly is a daily struggle. Speech therapy can make the difference between frustration and connection—and in Phnom Penh, OrbRom Center is leading the way in helping children find their voice.

Why Communication Skills Are So Important

Communication goes far beyond speaking—it affects every part of a child’s life:

• Academic learning – Understanding lessons and expressing answers.

• Social relationships – Making friends and participating in group activities.

• Emotional well-being – Feeling heard and valued.

When a child has difficulty speaking or understanding language, these areas can suffer. Speech therapy addresses those challenges so children can thrive.

Recognizing Speech and Language Difficulties

Speech therapy may be needed if your child:

• Speaks less than expected for their age.

• Struggles to pronounce certain sounds.

• Has trouble following instructions.

• Repeats words or phrases without clear meaning.

• Avoids speaking in social situations.

The earlier these issues are addressed, the better the long-term outcome.

Supporting Khmer and English Development

In Phnom Penh, many children grow up bilingual, speaking both Khmer and English. While this is a great advantage, it can also cause challenges such as:

• Mixing words from both languages.

• Uneven vocabulary in each language.

• Pronunciation differences between languages.

Our bilingual therapists help children build clear, confident communication in both languages, preparing them for success in school and beyond.

The Parent’s Role in Speech Progress

Parents are essential partners in therapy. We guide families on how to:

• Use WH-questions to encourage longer responses.

• Model correct speech naturally in conversation.

• Use everyday moments for language practice.

• Reinforce therapy goals at home.

When therapy is reinforced daily, progress is faster and more lasting.

• Higher self-confidence.
