Hi all,

Yes if we can use "Accessible" rather than disabled, although you can still use the wheelchair symbol (International Symbol of Access) as well if that helps for languages. 

Thanks for thinking of this, a simple word can mean so much to people.

Have a good afternoon and see you at orga call later
Simon
