Today, there are a growing number of sites serving a full range of physical or mental disabilities; others are disability-specific; most accept non-disabled members as well.

Dating sites provide tools to make dating more efficient, including special interest groups and online forums, blogs, audio introductions, instant messaging, private chat, and email. Many sites are either free or offer free trial memberships.

Safeguard personal information at all times, especially in the early stages. Communicate via the site’s email server before exchanging contact information.
