When I hear handicapped I think a mobility disability, and disabled as including all disabilities. By mobility I'm thinking of people who may have a health condition that can flare up at times, or a mental or emotional diagnosis. I just use disability and disabled to be all encompassing.

When it comes to ramps or bathrooms, I use the term "access" as some older people may not be disabled, but find ramps, doorknobs, and bathrooms easier to navigate, as well as people with strollers and children. Needing a little help or an accommodation isn't a disability, but does make things more accessible.
