People with Disabilities prefer you to describe the person, not the disability. It is polite to refer to an individual's disability only if it is relevant; avoid images that, unwittingly or consciously, evoke pity or guilt. "Wheelchair-bound" is one such popular yet misleading term, since a wheelchair is generally seen as liberating or enabling by its user or rider.
