While many parents worry that their children spend too much time playing computer games, Kelcey Sihanourath is pleased to see her son Owain pick up his tablet.
虽然当下很多父母都为孩子花太多时间玩电子游戏感到烦恼,但凯尔希·西哈努拉特很高兴看到儿子欧文拿起平板电脑打游戏。
Now aged 13, he was diagnosed with ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) in pre-school.
现年13岁的欧文在幼儿园时被诊断出患有多动症(注意力缺陷多动障碍)。
Since then, the family, who live in the US city of Savannah, Georgia, have taken Owain to see occupational therapists to help him better cope with everyday life tasks.
从那时起,这个居住在美国乔治亚州萨凡纳市的家庭便经常带着欧文去看职业理疗师,帮助他更好地应对日常生活中的任务。
They also tried the medication route, but had to stop after the prescribed drugs exacerbated the boy's regular migraines, and made him sick.
他们也尝试过吃要,但最终不得不放弃了,因为处方要加剧了欧文定期发作的偏头疼症状,让他恶心想吐。
With ADHD continuing to affect Owain's school performance over the years, Kelcey says she was "hoping for something more, for any other option".
