WASHINGTONPOST - Jacqueline and Alexa Child are launching Dateability, a dating app designed for disabled and chronically ill people. It carries the slogan "Making love accessible." "People with disabilities (PWD) are often discriminated against by other users on dating platforms, and not seen as potential partners." Jacqueline, who suffers from a connective-tissue disorder, had one bad encounter after another with potential dates. Then late last year, she decided to get surgery that would leave her with a feeding tube, making it so that she could no longer eat dinner out. She worried about what that might do to her dating life. That's when they came up with the idea for the app. Alexa described it as a way for them to "take the power and control back."
