Ditch the swiping and ghosting and level up to more genuine connections. LoveAbility helps you make authentic connections and let your unique LoveAbility shine, whatever you're going through. Each one of us has a unique LoveAbility - we want to help you be seen. LoveAbility is a mental health friendly dating app for adults 18 and over. Seven ways LoveAbility is different from other dating and social apps: 1. No more swiping. Pick an avatar that speaks to you and decide together when you're both ready to share selfies. Take your time, get to know one another, and be seen in a deeper way before showing off your smile. 2. Connection over matching. Real connection takes time and information. LoveAbility offers "new connection" suggestions based on your preferences and encourages you to slow down and learn one another more deeply. 3. Inclusivity. LoveAbility welcomes all identities, orientations, and connection goals. Check out the options. 4. Get real. People connect on shared experiences more than on perfection. 5. Ghost-free zone. No one likes being ghosted, but many still struggle to avoid it. LoveAbility nudges you when you get stuck and offers a drop-down of suggested phrasing to help you communicate kindly. Healthy communication is a practice, and we're here to help. 6. Coaching Corner. A curated library of articles on healthy dating, communication, and relationship habits, written for general education only. The content in Coaching Corner is informational and is not medical, psychological, or therapeutic advice. 7. Social-style mingling. Connection isn't only up to an algorithm. "Mingle" lets you discuss interesting topics, customize your own page to share your individuality and interests, and engage with posts from others. Safety first. LoveAbility is for adults 18 and over. We provide in-app tools to report users and content and to block anyone you don't want to interact with. Important: LoveAbility is not a medical device and does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any medical or mental-health condition. Information shared in the app is for general informational and social purposes only and is not a substitute for professional medical, psychological, or therapeutic advice. Please consult a qualified healthcare provider for any concerns about your mental or physical health. We hope LoveAbility helps you build genuine, lasting connections and show off your unique LoveAbility.

About

Special & Together

Read full description

We see a world where EVERY PERSON BELONGS regardless of their abilities, circumstances, or age. We believe every person deserves to be loved, and treated with dignity, respect, and kindness. No individual, irrespective of their disability, can be denied their human rights. All disabled individuals deserve access to healthcare and education and the opportunity to pursue their goals and dreams in a safe and inclusive environment. The goal is to provide individuals with disabilities a holistic approach, to gain the necessary skills and abilities to achieve maximum independence and live their best purpose-filled lives. We want to create a platform where persons with disabilities, or their caregivers, can learn about medical service providers and support services; therapies, and activities; learn about the latest medical research, specialized programs, and gainful employment possibilities. We want to create an environment where stakeholders may engage in group and individual interactions via the forum and chat functions to share information or lend a supportive hand.
