For types of disability, I've developed a mnemonic that goes with the song 'Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes.' People in my region sing "Head and Shoulders" to the tune of "London Bridge." In my opinion, this is the only way it should be done. It goes, "Psychological, Compound, Mobility, Seizure, Mobility, Seizure, Mobility, Seizure. Cognitive, Compound, Mobility, Seizure; Visual, Auditory, Speech, Deaf-Blind." I do the actions as I say this.

Is this insensitive? Obviously don't do it in public, and just use it for your private memorizing purposes. There's nothing dirty about any one of these words.
