It seems in some countries and languages there are efforts made to use other terms, like "differently abled".
What do you think? Might this be more appropriate?
Your thoughts...

I am also sometimes confused how to use the appropriate language. here are some resources I found for the English language:
(Inclusivity website from India) https://www.deoc.in/view-point/what-are-the-right-terminologies-for-referring-to-people-with-disabilities/
(American University) https://www.brown.edu/campus-life/support/accessibility-services/resources-teaching-students-disabilities/appropriate-terminology
According to those sources Physical Disabilities seems to be an appropriate term.
