Oxford Dictionary

disabled

dis |abled |dɪsˈeɪbld | ▶adjective (of a person ) having a physical or mental condition that limits their movements, senses, or activities: facilities for disabled people. • relating to or specifically designed for people with a physical or mental disability: disabled access is available at all venues. usage: The word disabled came to be used as the standard term in referring to people with physical or mental disabilities in the second half of the 20th century, and it remains the most generally accepted term in both British and US English today. It superseded outmoded, now often offensive, terms such as crippled, defective, and handicapped and has not been overtaken itself by newer coinages such as differently abled or physically challenged. Although the usage is very widespread, some people regard the use of the adjective as a plural noun (as in the needs of the disabled ) as dehumanizing because it tends to treat people with disabilities as an undifferentiated group, defined merely by their capabilities. To avoid offence, a more acceptable term would be people with disabilities.
