The difference between disabled and handicapped is nuanced, and many people are both. So it is incorrect to say “disabled person” is the preferred term over handicapped. It depends on how the individual’s impairments limit their functional ability. Do the impairments affect a specific functional ability? Then disabled. If it prevents that person fulfilling the normal role in life, then they are handicapped. Also handicapped license, handicapped parking, handicapped controls, etc. I’m seeing a pattern.
