`
`Usage Note Although handicapped is widely used in both law and ev-
`eryday speech to refer to people having physical or mental disabilities,
`those described by the word tend to prefer the expressions disabled or
`people with disabilities. Handicapped, a somewhat euphernistic term, may
`imply a helplessness that is not suggested by the more forthright disabled.
`It is also felt that some stigma may attach to the word handicapped be-
`cause of its origin in the phrase hand in cup, actually derived from a game
`of chance but sometimes mistakenly believed to involve the image of a
`beggar. The word handicapped is best reserved to describe a disabled per-
`son who is unable to function owing to some property of the environ-
`ment. Thus people with a physical disability requiring a wheelchair may
`or may not he handicapped, depending on whether wheelchair ramps are
`made available to them. See Usage Note at disabled.
