The 4-step flow

Four steps to your first real conversation

Signup typically takes under six minutes - and every step is screen-reader friendly, keyboard accessible, and skippable if you have cognitive fatigue.

  1. 1

    Build an accessible profile

    Add photos, a voice intro, or a captioned video - whichever feels natural. Forms have skip logic, large tap targets, and full screen-reader support so you never get stuck.

  2. 2

    Add your Dating Deets

    Pick opt-in tags like "mobility impairment," "neurodivergent," "Deaf," or "immunocompromised." Disclose once, never explain again, and pre-filter pity-seekers out of your inbox.

  3. 3

    Filter by access fit

    Search by venue accessibility, communication style (text, voice, ASL, captioned video), pacing preference, distance, and inter-ability or peer-only matching.

  4. 4

    Message at your pace

    Chat by text, voice notes, ASL video, or captioned video calls. Pacing reminders, easy block-and-report, and a 24/7 moderation team have your back.

Built in, not bolted on

Accessibility features built into every screen

Most accessible dating apps add screen-reader support after launch. We started with disabled testers, AAC users, and ASL signers in the design room. Here is what ships in every free account.

Vision

Full screen-reader support

VoiceOver, TalkBack, NVDA, and JAWS tested on every screen. Image descriptions on every photo, semantic landmarks throughout.

Hearing

Captions and transcripts

Closed captions auto-generate on every video chat and voice note, with editable transcripts for the Deaf and hard-of-hearing community.

Motor & Vision

Voice messaging

Send and receive voice notes if typing is hard. Great for low-vision, dyslexic, dyspraxic, and limb-difference users.

Sensory

High-contrast & reduced motion

One-tap dark mode, high-contrast theme, dyslexia-friendly font option, and a reduced-motion toggle that disables every animation.

Cognitive

Low-cognitive-load UI

Plain-language toggle (grade 7 reading level), short forms, clear single-action screens, and a calm color palette designed with cognitively disabled testers.

Motor

Voice-to-text & dictation

Reply hands-free using built-in dictation. Compatible with Dragon, Voice Control, and every major mobile speech engine.

Pricing, plainly stated

Free vs Premium - pick what works for you

Most disabled singles cannot afford the $300/month average dating spend. So our free tier is the most generous in disabled dating, and premium stays under five dollars.

Free is forever - no hidden trial, no credit card. Upgrade only if advanced filters help you.

Answers

How it works: FAQ

Short, plain-language answers to the questions we hear most from new members. More on our full FAQ page.

Is GreatDatingBlogs really free?

Yes. The free tier includes unlimited likes, matches, text, voice notes, captioned video chat, every Dating Deets tag, and access to all 12 community categories. Premium ($4.99/month or $54.99/year) only adds advanced filters and read receipts.

What is the dating program for special needs?

GreatDatingBlogs is a dating program built for adults with disabilities, chronic illness, and neurodivergence - including autism, ADHD, Down syndrome, and learning disabilities. The platform uses plain-language UI, a low-cognitive-load design, image descriptions, full screen-reader support, and a friendship-first option so users can connect at their own pace.

How long does signup take?

Most new members finish onboarding in under six minutes. Forms have skip logic so you can pause and return later, and every step is screen-reader and keyboard accessible.

Do I have to disclose my disability?

No. Dating Deets are completely opt-in. You can leave them blank, share only one or two broad tags, or hide them after matching. The point is to give you control, not to require disclosure.

Can I switch between text, voice, and video chat?

Yes. Every conversation supports text, voice notes, captioned video calls, and ASL video. You can change communication preferences at any time without leaving the chat.
