The case study's intention was to describe the situation regarding the health of a child with neuromotor disorder and their social network, with deepening on socio-economic context. The objectives were: to identify the caretaker of the child; to build the map of the child's social network; to discuss the importance of the caretaker and family context in the development of the children with neuromotor disorder. The data were collected from the patient's record; consultation of nursing; approach of the mother during physiotherapy; visitation to the maternal grandmother's home; systematic observation of the child and contacts by phone. The results showed that the girl is involved with different people and different ties. It follows that despite her extensive and dense social network, her ties are fragile, which makes the direct and intimate relationship to the girl restricted to few people, such as her mother, her brother, her maternal grandmother.
