SpectrumParents.com is a free resource, and affiliate links are one of the ways that keeps it free. This page explains plainly what that means, so you always know where you stand when you click a link here.
What Affiliate Links Are
Some of the links on SpectrumParents.com are affiliate links. If you click one and buy something, we may earn a small commission from the retailer. This comes out of the retailer’s end, not yours, so the price you pay is exactly the same whether you use our link or not.
The Amazon Associates Program
SpectrumParents.com is a participant in the Amazon Associates program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a way for sites to earn fees by linking to Amazon and affiliated sites. As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases. We may take part in other affiliate programs as well, and the same principle applies to all of them.
A Commission Never Changes What We Recommend
This is the part that matters most to us. We only point to practical, everyday items that we would mention anyway, things like sensory tools, visual timers, weighted items, books, and organizational and safety products. A possible commission never changes what we suggest, how honestly we describe it, or whether we mention a product’s downsides. If something is not worth it, we will say so, link or no link.
We also never present everyday products as medical treatment. They are tools that may make daily life a little easier, nothing more, and they are no substitute for professional care.
You Are Never Obligated
You never have to use our links, and you never have to buy anything to use this site. Everything here is free to read. If our links are helpful and you choose to use them, that small support helps keep the guides coming, and we are grateful for it. If you would rather search on your own, that is completely fine too.
