In Ireland we always use person/people with a disability, person/people without a disability – to put personhood first. Dis/ability does away with the person altogether (unless you are going to say person with a dis/ability which means everyone?) so I don’t like it

Has anyone come across the term dis/ability?  If so, what do you think of it?  I would be gratefuly for a speedy response.  I will send my perspective afterwards, so as not to bias responses.
Thanks
