Status epilepticus is a medical emergency associated with significant mortality and major morbidity. This article aimed to profile the assessment 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 effective rehabilitation strategy in restoring the functional abilities in the child.
