Jason,
It's not as simple as that over here. The term evolved through the years, all out of consideration of political correctness. "handicapped" replaced "disabled", and even then it was not good enough. Some people would insist on the term "physically challenged".
But that's probably going a bit overboard. Today it's mostly referred to as facilities for the handicapped, such as handicapped parking, handicapped ramps, bathroom stalls/ urinals for the handicapped, ... See more Jason,

Steve,
这里是金山词霸上美国传统词典中的一段解说，跟你的说法有点不一样，是不是这字典有点老了：

这里是金山词霸上美国传统词典中的一段解说，跟你的说法有点不一样，是不是这字典有点老了：
Although handicapped is widely used in both law and everyday speech to refer to people having physical or mental disabilities, those described by the word tend to prefer the expressions disabled or people with disabilities. To say that people are handicapped may imply that they cannot function on a par with others, while to say that they have adisability allows more readily for the possibility that they can so function, in spite of having to do some things in different ways. It is also felt that some stigma may attach to the word handicapped on account of its origin in the phrase hand in cap, actually derived from a game of chance but sometimes mistakenly believed to involve the image of a beggar.The word handicapped is best reserved to describe a disabled person who is unable to function owing to some property of the environment. Thus people with a physical disability requiring a wheelchair may or may not behandicapped, depending on whether wheelchair ramps are made available to them.

| wheelchair accessible toilet | Jun 14, 2008 |
残疾人使用的卫生间一般是指轮椅可以进出的那种，基本上是男女合用的，既设有座便器也有小便池，旁边设有扶手。视力和听力障碍者可以使用一般的卫生间。公共场所的残疾人卫生间也是用轮椅作标示。

wheelchair accessible telephone 这个是坐在轮椅上用的电话

以上链接有这样一段：
Telephones
Logan's public pay phones, which are hearing aid compatible and equipped with volume control, are located on both levels of all terminals on both sides of the security check points. AT&T 200 phones with a TTY option and a keyboard as well as public pay TTY telephones are available on both levels of all terminals. Wheelchair accessible telephones are available at most phone banks throughout the terminals.
hearing aid compatible (phone) 和 TTY telephone 是给听力障碍者用的了

| Steve and Zhoudan, I feel this one is more politically correct | Jun 14, 2008 |
It's very clever to direct our attention to wheelchair, intead of people sitting on it.

Imagining myself as disabled, I feel comfortable with a sign like this one:

我们这里现在一般用“Personnes handicapées"或更讲究一点的是“ Personnes à mobilité réduite"可以译为：行动不便者。
停车场和厕所这种公共场合，一般只用图示，不再使用任何文字。

德文的说法很委婉，绝对不会令人起反感：“受到障碍者” Behinderte。
至于受到怎样的障碍，德文里当然也可以特别指出，但一般都是隐而不曰；人人都懂，为什么需要拆白说呢？单单图示其实也够了。
不过，华语里说“残障人士”，又说“残而不废”，好像“残障者”一般倾向于“废”，其实按我半生的观察，有些缺陷的人往往比十全十美的人更有成就�... See more 德文的说法很委婉，绝对不会令人起反感：“受到障碍者” Behinderte。

不过，华语里说“残障人士”，又说“残而不废”，好像“残障者”一般倾向于“废”，其实按我半生的观察，有些缺陷的人往往比十全十美的人更有成就。心理有缺陷，那就不太可能成为这类有成就的人；比方说，深谙利用权势进行斗争的希特勒、墨索里尼等等历史上的魔头，他们的成就是负面的成就，当然不属于那类有成就的人了。

Zhoudan,
Thanks for pointing out my mistake. I guess I got the two mixed up. Actually "handicapped" sounds better to me than "disabled". But what the heck, if people prefer to be called disabled, so be it. 
FWIW, I found this pdf file with a small collection of politically correct terms when referring to people with various disabilities.

TOPIC STARTER | Many thanks for all | Jun 28, 2008 |
非常感谢各位的热心帮助。
残疾，现在用people with disabilities 的比较多；
盲人： visually impirated people, or people with visual difficulties, or visually challenged.
总之，语言表达更加体现了尊重和平等。
再次感谢大家
