FTC Disclosure: PlaceAut earns commissions from affiliate links on this website. This means if you click a link and make a purchase, we may receive compensation at no extra cost to you. We only recommend products we believe are sensory-appropriate and genuinely useful to autism families.
Some links on placeaut.com are affiliate links. If you buy something through one of these links, PlaceAut earns a small commission. You pay the same price you would anywhere else — sometimes less, if we have a discount code.
We built PlaceAut to help autism families find trusted places and products. Our recommendations come from experience working with autistic children and their families — not from whoever pays us the most. That will never change.
PlaceAut is an independent platform founded by a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT). Affiliate commissions help us:
Without affiliate revenue, PlaceAut could not exist as a free resource for families. We are transparent about this because we believe you deserve to know.
PlaceAut is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to amazon.com. Commission rates range from 1–10% depending on the product category.

PlaceAut may promote additional sensory, educational, and family-focused brands through the ShareASale affiliate network. Commission rates vary by brand and are always disclosed at point of recommendation where possible.

We aim to label affiliate content clearly wherever possible. When in doubt, assume any product link may be an affiliate link.
PlaceAut was founded by a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT). Our product recommendation standards are non-negotiable:
Affiliate relationships have zero influence on PlaceAut’s business certification decisions. A business cannot buy a PlaceAut badge. Certification is earned through a verified 20-point evaluation process.
When you purchase through an affiliate link, you pay the same price as any other customer — or sometimes less if PlaceAut has negotiated an exclusive discount code for our community. We never mark up prices through affiliate links.
If you have any questions about our affiliate relationships, sponsored content, or how we select products, please contact us at contact@placeaut.com. We will always answer honestly. That’s the only way this works.
