The hook and article meets almost all of the criteria. However, hooks are supposed to avoid looking like " Did You Know that X is Y?" This hook fits that form, so I must ask for a different hook. Maybe an alternative hook could look like ALT1: ... that people with sensory processing disorders often require sensory friendly environments which are designed to accommodate their condition?

Interesting: - Agree with Graearms, the hook isn't really exciting but the topic is interesting so maybe something along the lines of their alternative hook would work.

QPQ: Done.

Overall: This was kind of neat, I know it's a good topic because I now want to read more about this Dr vulpes ^{(💬 • 📝)} 23:31, 10 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Graearms and Dr vulpes: I like ALT1, thanks for the review. Bruxton (talk) 04:22, 11 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- If we are using ALT1 then this nomination meets all of the criteria. Graearms (talk) 14:16, 11 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

And what makes something friendly?[edit]

As of this writing, the article says nothing about what a sensory-friendly environment is, or what's in the illustrated bag. It's like an article about fire extinguishers saying they're used where there's a risk of fire, but nothing about how they put out fires. I lack any actual knowledge of the field, so it would be difficult for me to write a better article, but I'm just saying. IAmNitpicking (talk) 00:55, 22 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
