unhandicapped

Free from impediment

Unhandicapped means not having a disability or impairment—physically or mentally able-bodied.

The word appears most often in contexts distinguishing between those with and without disabilities: unhandicapped parking spaces, facilities for both handicapped and unhandicapped students.

The term has fallen out of favor alongside handicapped itself, with "non-disabled" now preferred.
