Share the Love • First, what does the article do well? Is there anything from your review that impressed you? Any turn of phrase that described the subject in a clear way? I like how this explains why a sensory room is beneficial. This article so far is a quick read for those who are just curious what it is and don’t need to know that much about it. • What changes would you suggest the author apply to the article? Why would those changes be an improvement? This article is lacking a lot of information to be helpful to those who are wanting to learn a lot about sensory rooms. There is a lot of room to improve and add paragraphs to expound on the information that is already there. • What's the most important thing the author could do to improve the article? Expound on the ideas that are already there. Instead of just giving short, one sentence explanations, continue talking about it so that it can help the reader to understand the importance of the subject. When it says that sensory rooms “help to create a safe space”, talk more about that, don’t just leave it to the interpretation of the reader. Kbarlow18 (talk) 03:12, 20 October 2019 (UTC)

In reading over your feedback, Kbarlow18 stated, “This article is lacking a lot of information to be helpful to those who are wanting to learn a lot about sensory rooms. There is a lot of room to improve and add paragraphs to expound on the information that is already there.” We know the article itself doesn’t have a lot of information on it, and we are planning on adding a new section about the history of Sensory rooms, and also expanding upon the information that is already on the article. We appreciate your feedback and will be taking it into account. By providing a History section, readers will be able to better understand the foundation from which Sensory Rooms were built, enabling us to go further into depth in the other areas. We have a collection of sources compiled together on the topic of Sensory Rooms to strengthen and expand our already existing sections. In addition to Kbarlow18’s comments, Marypolatis suggested, “Even though the article is pretty simple I think you should expound on the history behind it and where it all stems from. It would show more in-depth of what Sensory room is.” We agree that this article needs more information about the history of sensory rooms. We are planning to create a subsection to specifically address the history of sensory rooms. In addition we plan to expound on the already existing subsections to add more depth to the article. We appreciate your feedback and we will definitely use it to improve our article!

In addition to the revisions that we plan to incorporate mentioned above, we plan to increase the number of references currently on the article. By increasing the number of references on the article’s page, we can increase the number of in text citations made throughout the course of the article. This will strengthen the validity of the article while adding to the article’s depth.

I thought this article was well thought out and it was straight to the point. It isn't very long so you don't get lost reading it and going through it. I also thought the links got straight to the main points. Even though the article is pretty simple I think you should expound on the history behind it and where it all stems from. It would show more in depth of what Sensory room is. Overall, I think this is a great start to your page, it just needs a little more content. - Mary Polatis — Preceding unsigned comment added by Marypolatis (talk • contribs) 03:13, 21 October 2019 (UTC)
