People with different abilities rather than being handicapped

I picked up on the French word " les handicapées" in a post in the Depeche  and a reader has pointed out in the UK we no longer call people with disabilities handicapped,  they are people with different abilities so my apologies for that, I think the reader is right to point out my error.
 It reminded me of someone once calling Malc a cripple, a word that thank heavens is no longer used.
