Job application question

[staranise]

A question for y'all:

I'm going to apply for a job as an administrative assistant at a social services organization.  The job posting says, "Preference will be given to applicants with disabilities, recent immigrants, First Nations/Aboriginal applicants, members of a visible minority or applicants with social, cultural or financial barriers to employment."

Exactly how should I mention that I'm mobility-impaired (as a cane user)?  Is there a specific phrasing anyone can suggest for my cover letter?  This isn't the kind of thing one normally advertises, so I'm a bit at sea here.

You could say something like "In case you're pre-screening applications for the listed preferential groups, I would like to point out that I do qualify, and can give more details during the interview" or something ... but I'm not sure whether being disabled (or one of the other minority/underprivileged groups) gets you preference in the getting-to-interview stage, or whether they wait to see.
