As usual it all depends who you ask.  In the UK the social model of disabilities
means that 'disabled people' is preferred over 'people with disabilities' since
disabled people implies barriers put in place by society, such as an
inaccessible web site.  People with disabilities reads/sounds more like the
person has 'baggage', which in most cases is definitely not the case.
