■ adjective (of a person) having a physical or mental disability.
↘designed for or relating to ~ people: ~ access.
Usage
The word ~ is the most generally accepted term in both British and US English today. It has superseded outmoded, now often offensive, terms such as crippled and handicapped and has not been overtaken itself by newer coinages such as differently abled or physically challenged .
Some people regard the use of the adjective as a plural noun (as in the needs of the ~ ) as dehumanizing. A more acceptable term would be people with disabilities .
