Selected
pupils with a motor disability
Disability is more generally acceptable as a non-offensive term than handicap these days. Also "person with a disability" is preferred to "disabled person".

By the way, we\'d normally say \"special school\" rather than \"specialized school\" when talking about a school for children with disabilities, at least in the UK.

Well it is in all sorts of publications and I refuse to believe that you cannot distinguish between the different types of handicap when it is a TECHNICAL subject. PC means never calling a spade a spade and look at the problems that causes!

physically handicapped pupils
Depends on the context really, but I would suggest that this refers to pupils with a motor or physical handicap.

�l�ves handicap�s moteurs
pupils who have movement difficulties
'handicapés moteurs' technically means 'spastic' which is the stiffening of muscles resulting in jerky movements. I have suggested the above in preference to simply 'spastic pupils'.

why? Which bit aren't you happy with? I wanted to avoid handicapped and disabled, as what is considered PC is constantly changing. Even disabled is becoming frowned upon - the prefered term being 'less-abled'. It's tricky!

explanation
The terminology problem in the field of handicap goes way beyong the question of being politically correct or not. Often the choice of terms is based on the WHO International Classification of Impairments, Disabilities and Handicaps (ICIDH), which was replaced recently by the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF). In this complex three level classification, a clear distinction is made between impairment, disability and handicap ("disability" summarizes a great number of different functional limitations. People may be disabled by physical, intellectual or sensory impairment, medical conditions or mental illness. The term "handicap" means the loss or limitation of opportunities to take part in the life of the community on an equal level with others. It describes the encounter between the person with a disability and the environment.

So it important to know whether a particular client explicitely wants to use WHO terminology or not, because this might explain a preference for "with mobility impairments" or "with mobility disabilities"
or "with a mobility handicap"

Concernant le handicap moteur, on voit qu’il peut se décliner selon ces trois
composantes : déficience motrice (déficience touchant l ’appareil locomoteur au sens large),incapacité motrice (en rapport avec la motricité,la locomotion,les
déplacements …), désavantage du fait de déficiences et/ou d ’incapacités mo-
trices. Handicap moteur n ’est donc pas synonyme de déficience motrice.
This explains why some texts use "élèves handicapés moteurs"
and other "élèves déficients moteurs"
