Colloquially, they are related although you will note that "handicapped" is an adjective and "disability" is a noun. The colloquial meaning is that someone who has a disability (who is unable to do something which people can normally do, like walk, or see, or hear, or think) is called "handicapped". However, the literal meaning of "handicap" is not "disability". A handicap is a penalty placed in certain sports such as horse racing and Golf on competitors who are more able than the others, in order to make the competition more fair.
