Whenever speaking about specific persons with a disability, avoid using words that are meant to describe common shared characterics of groups. Real persons disabled for whatever reason deserve to be identified by their unique individual qualities.
Yes, what I am suggesting does take more time. However, extra time will allow recognition and appreciation of a special person with unique qualities that can never be adequately represented through shorthand verbage or generalizations.
