I think the OTs here use it a lot more. I should check it out again. <br />As for your pt with severe L neglect, I think it's ok to be a broken record, and be on their case about it constantly. Sometimes I physically pull their head to the left and hold it in place. Left neglect seems to me to be the areas that improves faster than any other cog skill when worked on aggressively so hopefully they will soon be able to maintain midline and L side gaze for at least a few secondsKristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12759525741172489782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684287558065750242.post-60982646152613326052015-06-07T15:04:14.479-06:002015-06-07T15:04:14.479-06:00Thanks for all the great ideas!

However, now I have a patient that has only a split second attention and no use of either arm. Trying to get the pt to look at my eyes and/or a picture to identify or describe it is almost impossible. I feel like I'm a broken record. Any other ideas?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
