The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the effectiveness of Cognitive Behavioral Play Therapy interventions in patients with epilepsy.
Children with epilepsy will be randomly assigned to one of two intervention conditions: the experimental group will receive cognitive-behavioral play intervention, while the control group will engage in free play. Assessments will be done at the start (T0) and end (T1) of the intervention, measuring behaviors, coping strategies, positive thinking, problem-solving, and quality of life.
