Dating with a disability starts with honest communication, people you trust, and a plan to stay safe.

Be clear about your boundaries, let someone know where you’re going, and remember—you can always leave if something doesn’t feel right. Everyone deserves a relationship built on respect, trust, and choice! Join our webinar on August 6 from 10 to 11 AM EST for a practical conversation about healthy relationships, consent, boundaries, communication, and self-advocacy. We’ll also talk about recognizing concerns like manipulation, financial exploitation, and online scams. Adults with disabilities, families, caregivers, and support professionals are welcome. We hope to see you there! Register now on our website in the link in bio. Visit our website to see our full schedule of webinars! VD: A woman wearing a white shirt sits on an orange seat in front of a light teal wall and shares three things people with disabilities should know about dating. She discusses the importance of clear communication, having a trusted support system, and making a safety plan. On-screen captions highlight her words throughout the video.
