'''Able-bodied''' is having a strong, physically fit body or a body without disabilities. Historically, the use of the term abled-bodied has been seen in politics as early as in the 19th century such as in the [[Poor Law Amendment Act 1834|Poor Law Amendment Act of 1834]] which referred to individuals who possess the mental and physical capabilities to work.{{Cite web |title=The implementation of the Poor Law |url=https://victorianweb.org/history/poorlaw/implemen.html |access-date=2026-04-21 |website=victorianweb.org}} In modern discussions regarding disability, abled-bodied is used to address individuals who does not identify with any disabilities. {{Cite web |title=Disability language style guide {{!}} Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication |url=https://cronkite.asu.edu/ncdj/disability-language-style-guide#C |access-date=2026-04-21 |website=cronkite.asu.edu |language=en}} Although abled-bodied is frequently used to refer to non-disabled people, there is still no consensus on the use of this term. Organizations such as the [[National Center on Disability and Journalism]] (NCDJ) advises caution when using this term due to its implication that disabled people are "unabled" bodies, as well as its political use. |
