Disabled Parking at London Heathrow Airport
First of all do not park on any of the roads leading to or around the terminal buildings, as you may receive a fine and your vehicle will be towed away by the police.
The short stay car parks are the most convenient to use if you are disabled/special needs traveller.
If you require any assistance at all with your luggage or help to push your wheelchair then just use the green telephones which are next to the disabled parking bays.
Again you can park in the Business and Long Stay car parks. If you do book these car parks you will need to mention that you will require assistance so that arrangements can be made to transfer you to the terminal building.
Remember that the multi storey car parks all have height restrictions, so check this at the time of booking if you have a high sided vehicle.

Off Site Parking at London Heathrow Airport
It is often cheaper to park off site rather than on site at the airport. The downside to this is of course you have to travel further to the terminal building once you have dropped off your car. Also, on the return you will have a longer journey.
If you do book any off site parking remember to allow additional time for this particularly in busy periods i.e. summer and Bank Holidays.
