Hey shani,
Good luck with your new job. Caloric stim tends to work for neglect, however
the effects are short lived. Works sort of on the line as weightbearing to
decrease tone. If you can get the patient involved in a therapeutic activity
while there neglect is lessened, you can make gains as it is accomplished
progressively.
