About DrSensory
Editorial Standards
How DrSensory writes, sources, checks and corrects its pages, and how paid content is labeled.
Most DrSensory pages are written and edited by the DrSensory Editorial Team, led by founder Dr. Eva Lassey, PT, DPT.
Claims a reader could check are cited in the paragraph that makes them, to a primary source wherever one exists. Before a new page is published, its citations are checked against the passages they rest on. Sponsored articles and affiliate links are labeled on the page.
Written by the DrSensory Editorial Team. This page describes how DrSensory works as of November 2, 2026. To report an error, email hello@drsensory.com.
Who writes and reviews DrSensory content?
The byline under a page’s title says who it comes from. These are the bylines on DrSensory, and what each one means.
Dr. Eva Lassey, PT, DPT
DrSensory’s founder, a physical therapist. Her bio lists the fields she reviews and the ones she does not.
Pages in those fields carry her name as their reviewer. Her name stays on a page she wrote when the Editorial Team later updates it.
DrSensory Editorial Team
Pages written and edited by DrSensory’s own team.
Many of these bylines also say what the page rests on, such as cited evidence and national clinical guidelines.
Reviewed by the DrSensory Editorial Team
An editorial review by DrSensory’s team.
It is not a clinical review: it does not mean a licensed clinician read the page. Pages outside every named reviewer’s field, such as speech-language pages, carry this byline.
A named clinical reviewer
The byline names the clinician and their credential.
DrSensory’s clinical reviewers, and the field each one covers, are listed on the About page.
An outside writer
Articles from outside writers carry the writer’s name, or for a sponsored article the sponsor’s, and are edited by the DrSensory Editorial Team.
If a business paid for the article or a link in it, the page says so (how paid content is labeled).
DrParenting team
Articles in DrParenting, DrSensory’s parenting section.
They are not medically reviewed unless the byline names a reviewer.
What sources does DrSensory cite?
Primary sources wherever one exists: the organization or study that produced a finding, read where it is published rather than a summary of it.
Clinical guidelines and professional bodies
Practice guidelines, position statements and scope-of-practice documents from bodies such as the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Occupational Therapy Association, the American Physical Therapy Association and the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association.
Government agencies and the law
The CDC, the National Institutes of Health, AHRQ, and CMS and Medicare.gov.
For a legal or coverage rule, the statute, regulation or state licensing board itself.
Peer-reviewed research
Journal papers, each identified by its DOI or PubMed ID, so the paper’s own record can be checked.
A claim no source supports is dropped, not softened. A sentence gets a citation when a reader could check it and would be misled if it were wrong. A self-evident statement does not need one.
How are claims cited and checked?
Next to the claim. On a page with a Sources list, each numbered citation sits in the paragraph or list item that makes the claim and links to its entry in the list.
With the passage it rests on. Many entries quote the passage from the source that supports the claim and give the date it was checked. A long note folds behind Show the passage, or Show the note where it paraphrases, so the list stays short.
Checked before a new page is published. A second, independent check reads every cited sentence against its quoted passage: the numbers, the direction of the finding, and whether it was found in children, adults or the general population. It also lists factual sentences that carry no citation and opens every internal link. Each finding is resolved before the page is published.
Checked against the record. References that carry a DOI or a PubMed ID are checked against the record that identifier points to, in Crossref or PubMed. Where the authors differ, the entry is corrected to match the record. Where the title differs, the identifier is wrong and is replaced.
How does DrSensory keep pages up to date?
The date shows when the content changed. Content pages show a Last updated date. It moves when a claim is added or changed, a section is added or an answer is rewritten. Adding links or correcting a citation’s details does not move it.
Sources carry their own dates. Many source entries say when the source was checked. The state practice guides for therapists say when they were last verified against official sources. A DrParenting buying guide’s title carries the year its prices and claims were checked.
Is DrSensory medical advice?
No. DrSensory’s pages are for general education. They do not diagnose a condition, and they do not replace an evaluation by a clinician who knows you or your child. Clinical pages end with a medical disclaimer that says so.
When should you contact a clinician or get help?
- In a medical emergency, call 911.
- If you are worried about immediate safety, call or text 988 (US).
- If a child has lost skills they previously had, contact their doctor promptly.
- Medication: never start, stop, or change a dose without medical guidance.
- Supplements or a possible poisoning: Poison Control is 1-800-222-1222.
- Anything about your own or your child’s health: ask a qualified healthcare provider.
Does DrSensory cover children and adults?
Yes. DrSensory is a clinical guide and clinic directory for physical, occupational and speech therapy at every age.
Many condition pages say which ages they cover in a line under the byline, Ages covered on this page, taken from what the page itself covers. When a new page is checked, each finding is matched to the group it was studied in, so a result from children is not presented as true of adults, or the reverse.
Pages written for adults close by telling the reader to consult a qualified healthcare provider about their own situation. Pages about children say the same about the child.
How is paid content labeled?
Sponsored articles. A sponsored article carries a notice that names the business that paid, either to publish the article or for a link in it. New sponsored articles are published in DrParenting, DrSensory’s parenting section. The DrSensory Editorial Team sources and edits them and checks their claims like any other page’s: a claim its source does not support is corrected or removed.
Affiliate links. Some pages link to products through affiliate programs, including Amazon Associates. If you buy through one of those links, DrSensory may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Those pages say so in an affiliate disclosure directly above the medical disclaimer.
Product placements. A paid placement means the product appears; it does not mean DrSensory recommends it. How DrParenting works explains how products are chosen. The rates and terms for contributors and sponsors are on Write for DrSensory.
Where do directory listings come from?
Public records, at first. DrSensory’s directory lists therapy clinics, not individual therapists. Most listings start from public records of the clinic, checked for duplicates and dead addresses, and say so until the clinic claims them.
Then the clinic’s own facts. A clinic claims its listing for free by entering a code emailed to it, and can then correct its own details. The badge at the top of a listing says which of three states it is in.
Unclaimed listing
From public records. Nobody at the clinic has confirmed it.
Claimed and verified
The clinic confirmed ownership and its own facts. Free.
Verified clinic
Claimed, and on a paid subscription.
What a badge does not mean. No badge is a check of clinical quality, and none is an endorsement or a ranking. Check a clinic’s credentials and fit with the clinic directly, and a license with the state board’s own lookup. On a clinic’s own website, a DrSensory badge reads Listed Clinic, or Featured Clinic for a paid listing. What the badges on a listing mean sets out how each one is earned.
Who pays for DrSensory?
DrSensory is run by DrSensory LLC. It earns money from clinic listing subscriptions, sponsored articles and paid placements, affiliate commissions on some product links, and the products in its shop.
What money does not change. A listing in the directory costs a clinic nothing, and searching it costs families nothing. A clinic’s subscription changes its own listing and where it is shown, first in its area; it does not change what a guide says about a condition or a therapy. Paid content is labeled on the page where it appears.
How do I report an error?
Email hello@drsensory.com with the page’s address and what is wrong. We check it, and if the page is wrong, we fix it. When a fix changes what a page says, its Last updated date moves to the day of the change.
Clinics and clinicians too. If a listing is wrong, or a page misstates something in your field, write to the same address. A clinic can also claim its listing and correct its own details.
