To address the comment of louisajay below, I refer you to:

http://i.b5z.net/i/u/1047535/i/Facts_and_Definitions.doc

CROSS-DISABILITY noun (of a charity, NGO or other body) existing to serve people of differing disabilities. e.g., cross-disability movement.

I would suggest that you reword the sentence slightly to compensate for the fact that English morphology is not as permissive as Spanish in this instance, but otherwise this seems to be the standard term.

Thank you.

neutral  louisajay: in your example cross-disability is being used as an adjective, but in the question it is as a noun and I'm not convinced it works

  -> the sentence in question is an example of a "stacked" or "compound" noun phrase e.g. student body, water main, etc.
