But that is slightly orthogonal to my comment, as, I know some disagree, 
we tend to tag attributes that differ from the norm. So only schools 
that for whatever reason have dedicated facilities / special curriculums 
would need the tags to start with and if there is nothing special about 
accepting disabled students in your region, then you probably shouldn't 
be tagging it.
