Abstract
Status epilepticus is a medical emergency associated with signicant mortality and major morbidity. This article aimed to prole the assess- ment and management conditions of a child with post neonatal CP due to status epilepticus in communication and motor skills. A 14 year old female child served as the subject. She was diagnosed as post neonatal
cerebral palsy due to status epilepticus at the age of 4.6 years. However, the management of speech-language and physiotherapy had begun at the age of 14 years. The study also highlights on the fact about delay to early rehabilitation and progress in the overall functional abilities of the child. Focus has also been on the team management as an eec-
tive rehabilitation strategy in restoring the functional abilities in the child.
