[This is from the Spinal Injury Conference]

With a person in a chair whho can't find a ramp to get around the 
stairs, I would suggest saying a person in a wheelchair.  It does make 
the problem and needed solution clear.  But on the whole, if the 
disability doesn't affect the activity or is needed information, why 
mention it.
