Spanish term or phrase: discapacitados físicos y sensoriales

Hola,

Tengo un texto sobre un tour, que esta adaptado para "discapacitados físicos y sensoriales", que me parece sería "the physically handicapped and the hearing and vision impaired" pero no se si falta alguien.

¿Se puede decir "sensorily impaired"? ¿O alguien me puede sugerir algo mejor? Gracias.

physically challenged individuals

Explanation:
Two points to make:

1. there is some resistance to using "disabled" and "handicapped" versus the more positive "challenged"

2. because sensory handicaps (deafness, blindness) are physical impairments (ears and eyes, physical parts of the body that do not function properly), "physically" can cover both of the Spanish terms.
