Person who uses a wheelchair

Avoid

Wheelchair-bound, wheel-chaired

Wheelchairs liberate people with mobility disorders, they do not confine or bind them. They provide mobility, not restriction. We should also remember to use people-first language when talking or writing about people who use wheelchairs or other mobility aids.

 

It’s also advisable to use the word “walk” and not “drive” when talking about how a person who uses a wheelchair gets around.
