For those with a physical, emotional/mental, cognitive, or developmental disability, or even a social condition or other undiagnosed challenge, the shidduch process can be even more difficult, frustrating, and overwhelming. You may have to network more, have more patience, emuna, and bitachon, and work harder to find the right shaliach (messenger). But the same G-d who makes shidduchim for those without these extra challenges has plans for you, too.

Dr. Chevy Weiss does not exclusively focus on singles with disabilities, but she brings a keen understanding, great experience, and a record of many successful shidduchim of singles with disabilities or unique challenges to help this community.

Moreover, her background with this community includes her role in launching Yachad in NCSY’s mid-Atlantic region (Baltimore/Silver Spring/Philadelphia) many years ago to her experience as a professional academic researcher and writer for several years on physical and mental health issues.

A shadchan for the broader population, she has committed hours each week to help foster and facilitate more inclusive shidduchim for singles with disabilities or challenges, and to provide their parents with advice and guidance too.
