AIBU to ask parents of children with special needs a question?

I am developing a project (not for profit) for children with special needs and I'm needing help with the wording of the project.
As a parent of a child with special needs would you prefer the term children with additional needs or children with disabilities?
The project is open to children/YP with all disabilities so wondering if additional needs would be a better phrasing?

My DD isn't 'disabled' but does have 'additional needs'. Lots of children would fit into this category that I can think of. Agree with poster above who suggested 'children with disabilities and/or additional needs' as a catch all.
