Handicapped - English editing.

The word handicapped is first recorded in the early 20th century in the sense of referring to a person’s mental or physical disabilities. In British English it was the standard term until relatively recently but like many terms in this sensitive field its prominence has been short-lived. It has been superseded by more recent terms such as disabled, or, in reference to mental disability, having learning difficulties or learning-disabled. In American English, however, handicapped remains acceptable.
