I'm in Australia and it's 2014. The reference I gave you will take you to pages of tributes to Stella Young who died recently, but even if you just have a look at her Ted Talk I think you'll find it interesting.
Seems to me that if carers use the term "people with disability" that's probably because that's what their clients prefer: the rationale behind putting the word "people" first is so that they are seen as people who happen to have a disability, rather than the disability being to the forefront. Anyway, we all need to remember we're only one car accident/illness/severe assault away from disability
