Intervención en Atención Temprana en un caso de Potocki-Lupski

Abstract

Potocki-Lupski syndrome is a genetic syndrome caused by a microduplication on chromosome 17p11.2. Most cases appear de novo and are characterized by a heterogeneous symptomatology that usually includes hypotonia, developmental delay, congenital anomalies and alterations in behavior of various kinds that, in some cases, may be associated with autism spectrum disorders. Papers on psychological intervention and treatment of this syndrome are scarce. This paper describes the evaluation and intervention by Early Care carried out over a period of 18 months for a two-year-old child diagnosed with this syndrome. The results show a positive evolution at a clinical level in the different areas of development, Zaira Morales https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4907-7389 es profesora asociada del Departamento de Psicología Clínica y experimental de la Facultad de Educación, Psicología y Ciencias del Deporte de la Universidad de Huelva.
