I think the challenge was for a chair bound person. 
 
Deaf-blind may well be physically fit, and able-bodied, but have limited sight and hearing.  Few are totally deaf and blind.

Dear All,
The literature on the use of crossing cards by deafblind people mentions gender.  Some literature below.  You will have to check which ones mention gender.

Sauerburger, D. and J. Sauerburger  Are "deaf-blind pedestrians" street signs effective? http://www.sauerburger.org/dona/DBsign.html. Accessed 18.1.2018.

The following has something about non-disabled people preferrring to help disabled people who are perceived as incompetent and unfriendly, but it is old so may be out of date.

Dear all,

I am posting this for a student of mine.  I, too, am struggling to find 
literature review on how a disabled person's Race/Class/Gender status impacts 
altruism or a bystander's willingness to help for certain routines specifically, 
opening the door in public.  Does the person's wheelchair impact the types of 
assistance to open the door for that person? (ie. fancy tires, customized v. 
generic wheelchair, etc) .  I am attaching parts of her inquiry:

"
I'm absolutely failing to find any sources for my thesis relating to how a 
disabled person's identity, race, or social class will impact a bystander's 
willingness to help [ opening the door]. For example, a Disabled person must 
give off the impression of independence or unwillingness to accept help from 
others, or at least a more negative response towards offers of help. Bystanders 
must be more or less likely to help a disabled person if they are from a 
specific race or social class?
"

Any helpful sources/literature is most appreciative.

Thanks,
