“…Of the different paediatric epileptic syndromes, which include the West syndrome, the present study deals with Lennox syndrome, Gastaut, Dravet syndrome, Ohtahara syndrome and Aicardi syndrome. West syndrome represents 45.5% of epilepsies during the first year of life (Durá-Travé, Yoldi-Petri & Gallinas-Victoriano, 2008) and it is characterized by the following symptomatic triad: (1), spasms, (2) EEG with hypsarrhythmia and (3) detection of the neurological maturation process at the beginning of critical manifestations, implicating psychomotor delay (Calderón et al, 2018;Arce et al, 2011).…”

Games can be an ideal tool to stimulate the development of children aged 0 to 6 years with West syndrome (Del Toro, 2013). This study aims to provide an overview of intervention through play in children with epileptic encephalopathies, starting with knowledge of its development and ending with an intervention model for this population. Research is presented that was conducted with 53 children with epileptic encephalopathies and aimed at generating scientific knowledge about the features of play development among such children and basic aspects to present a suitable educational response in keeping with their needs. This descriptive approach follows a non-experimental expost-facto type methodology and data was captured using the poll technique. A playbased intervention is also presented in the form of a case study comparing the development of children who have worked with this play-based program and those who have not. The results show that pupils with epileptic encephalopathy that have followed a play-based program have better motor, linguistic and cognitive development.
