Impedido...


Explanation:
En México es más común el uso del adjetivo 'impedido' o 'incapacitado' para decir "impaired":
speech impaired = impedido o impedimento de la dicción o del habla
mobility impaired = impedido o incapacitado en su movilidad/impedimento motriz
cognitive impaired = incapacitado en su habilidad cognocitiva
visually impaired = impedido de la vista, incapacitado de la vista
Espero le sean útiles.

(persona con) discapacidad del lenguaje, motriz, cognoscitiva, visual


Explanation:
Para evitar el terrible matiz discriminatorio de la palabra "impedido" desde hace unos años se prefiere "persona con discapacidad" o "discapacitado".

"Discapacitado"...: Disminuido en su capacidad física o mental. (Diccionario Enciclopético Clarín)

discapacidades varias


Explanation:
Politically correct language for what used to be 'handicapped' = 'descapacitado.

It's difficult to reproduce the same linguistic pattern:

EXTRACTS FROM GOOGLE
- una persona con discapacidad del habla
- las personas de mobilidad reducida
- personas con discapacidad
cognitiva
- personas con discapacidad visual

ALL TIDIED UP A BIT

(personas) con discapacidades del habla, con mobilidad reducida, con discapacidades cognitivas o visuales

YOU MAY NEED TO ADAPT FURTHER

con discapacidad...


Explanation:
I agree with the colleagues, "persona con discapacidad en el habla, motora, visual, etc" are the usual terms.
"Impedido" is offensive.

Best regards,
