Okay, so I understand that impairment is not a taboo word. It’s just one of the reasons why somebody may have accessibility requirements. Thank you!

I think so. I have always heard / seen “impairment” with visual or hearing.

Also a non-native English speaker here, with a question about the use of the word ‘impairment’. In a situation (e.g. an exhibition,…) where tactile and audio information aren’t provided, you could say that the accessibility needs of people with a visual impairment were overlooked. Or is there a better way to say it?
