Article evaluation - Sensory Processing Disorder

Choose an article on Wikipedia related to your course to read and evaluate. As you read, consider the following questions (but don't feel limited to these):

Overall the article did a good job of succinctly summarizing sensory processing disorders. There was nothing in the article that seemed extraneous and I did not notice any obvious bias.

There were a few errors in referencing that have been pointed out by previous users. Some of the standardized tests and outcome measures should be given references. There were also a few claims under the Other Methods section discussing hypo- and hyper-reactivity that could use references. References 3, 4, 25, 31, and 85 were all over 20 years old. Only a fraction of the references were from the last 5 years, so it will be important to add what the newest research is saying.

I also noticed that under the signs and symptoms section, some of the bullet points have unnecessary periods. I do like that the previous authors used bullet points, because it makes for an easy read for the audience while still providing all of the essential information.

The article may also benefit from the addition of a few more images to give something besides words for the readers to look at.

There is another article for "Sensory Dysfunction Disorder" that needs a lot of work, but portions could be added to "Sensory Processing Disorder" to improve detail.
