Complete transparency about how Sensory Sorted earns money and what that means for you.
Last updated: June 2026
The bottom line: some links on this site earn me a small commission if you buy through them. This costs you nothing extra. My reviews are written honestly regardless. I'll never recommend a product I don't genuinely believe is worth buying.
An affiliate link is a special tracked URL that tells a retailer (such as Amazon) that a visitor arrived via this site. If you click one of these links and go on to make a purchase, I receive a small percentage of the sale as a commission.
The price you pay is exactly the same whether you use my link or go directly to the retailer. You are not charged anything extra, and no money is taken from your purchase. The commission comes from the retailer's margin, not yours.
All "View on Amazon →" buttons and product name links in my review pages are Amazon affiliate links. These are part of the Amazon Associates Programme.
Where I link to other retailers, those may also be affiliate links. I'll always make it clear when a link takes you to a product page on a retailer's site.
Informational links, for example, to NHS pages, OT resources, or general articles, are never affiliate links.
Sensory Sorted is a participant in the Amazon Associates Programme, an affiliate advertising programme designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by linking to Amazon.
As required by Amazon, I disclose this on every page where Amazon affiliate links appear. You'll see a note in the footer of each page to this effect.
Running a website has costs: hosting, domain fees, research tools, and time. Affiliate commissions allow this site to remain free to access, free of intrusive advertising, and free of brand sponsorship deals.
Without affiliate income, this site could not exist in its current form. I'm grateful to every reader who clicks through and makes a purchase. It genuinely helps keep the lights on.
Affiliate links never influence which products I recommend or what I write about them. My editorial process:
I research products based on what children and families need, not on which products offer the best commission rates.
All recommendations are cross-checked against occupational therapist guidance on sensory needs and appropriate tools.
Every product gets a balanced write-up. I list genuine downsides even for products I recommend highly.
No brand has ever paid to be featured, ranked higher, or reviewed more favourably. I don't accept free products in exchange for positive coverage.
If a product doesn't meet my standards, I won't list it, regardless of how much commission it might generate.
I started this site because I was exhausted by affiliate review sites that clearly ranked products based on commission potential rather than quality. You can usually tell, the writing is thin, every product scores 9 out of 10, and nothing is ever criticised.
I wanted to do something different. My kids depend on the right tools. Other families depend on honest information. I would rather earn less and be trusted than earn more and be useless.
So yes, I use affiliate links. But every word on this site is written as if the links weren't there. That's my promise to you.
This disclosure is provided in accordance with the UK Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) guidelines on endorsements and reviews, the ASA CAP Code on affiliate marketing, and FTC guidelines for international visitors. I'm committed to full transparency about my commercial relationships.
