Affiliate Disclosure & How We Make Recommendations

At 5iBC Resources, our mission is to help families, educators, and practitioners find tools that genuinely support learning, development, and independence. We focus on resources that are practical, evidence-informed, and meaningful for real children in real environments.

Some of the links on this website are affiliate links, including links to Amazon and other retailers. This means that if you click on one of these links and make a purchase, 5iBC Resources may earn a small commission, at no additional cost to you.

How We Choose Products

Our recommendations are informed by:

  • Professional experience in education, behaviour support, and child development

  • Direct use of materials with children across different ages and developmental profiles

  • Observation of how products function in real-world settings (homes, classrooms, therapy sessions)

  • Feedback from families, educators, and support professionals

Rather than prioritizing flashy features or “top-of-the-line” options, we aim to recommend well-designed, purposeful tools that support skill development and can be meaningfully used over time.

Why Affiliate Links Matter

Commissions earned through affiliate links help support:

  • The ongoing maintenance of 5iBCResources.com

  • The development of new guides, filters, and curated recommendations

  • The time and expertise required to thoughtfully review and organize resources

If a product does not work well for you and is returned, we typically earn no commission. This structure helps keep our focus where it belongs: on serving our readers, not on driving sales.

Transparency and Trust

Reader trust is central to everything we do. We strive to be clear about:

  • Which skills or developmental domains it supports

  • The age ranges or ability levels for which it may be appropriate

We encourage families to use our recommendations as a starting point and to consider their child’s unique strengths, needs, and interests when making purchasing decisions.

If we recommend a product, we do so with the same care we would use when recommending something to our own families, clients, or colleagues.
