Speech Therapy in Phnom Penh: Helping Children Speak, Learn, and Connect

In Phnom Penh, more families are discovering how powerful speech therapy can be in supporting their child’s growth. Whether a child struggles to say their first words, form sentences, or connect socially, the right guidance can make all the difference. At OrbRom Center, we provide professional speech therapy designed to meet children where they are — and help them move forward with confidence.

What Does Speech Therapy Really Do?

Speech therapy is often misunderstood as simply “fixing” how a child speaks. In reality, it covers a much broader range of essential communication skills:

• Understanding language (receptive language)

• Using words and sentences (expressive language)

• Pronouncing sounds clearly (articulation)

• Using language in social settings (pragmatic or social communication)

• Stuttering and fluency issues

• Using visuals or AAC devices if a child is non-verbal

At OrbRom Center in Phnom Penh, we offer individualized therapy that targets your child’s exact needs using a fun, structured, and evidence-based approach.

Common Signs Your Child May Benefit from Speech Therapy

Every child develops differently, but there are warning signs that should not be ignored:

• Very limited speech after age 2

• Difficult to understand after age 3

• Doesn’t respond to questions or instructions

• Rarely uses gestures or eye contact

• Trouble telling stories or staying on topic

• Frustration when trying to communicate

Our team at OrbRom conducts full assessments to identify your child’s strengths and challenges — and then creates a tailored plan for progress.

Speech Therapy That Works for Phnom Penh Families

Phnom Penh is a multilingual city, and many children grow up speaking Khmer and English. At OrbRom, we understand the complexity of bilingual language development and make sure children are not wrongly identified as having a disorder when they are simply developing at their own bilingual pace.

Our bilingual speech therapists:

• Assess language skills in both languages

• Provide therapy in the child’s dominant or preferred language

• Help children transfer skills across languages when needed

Speech Therapy and Autism Support

Children with autism often face unique communication challenges, including:

• Delayed language development

• Limited use of gestures or facial expressions

• Difficulty with social interaction and conversation

• Echolalia (repeating words or phrases)

OrbRom’s therapists use strategies such as visual supports, social stories, picture schedules, and AAC tools to help these children become more confident communicators.
