It's a play on the politically correct phrases of the form x-challenged, e.g., intellectually-challenged for someone who isn't quite of normal intelligence or physically-challenged for someone who might have, for example, a deformed leg. It has gone on to become height-challenged for someone shorter than average. In Avy's case it might mean that she has lost internet access at home.
That's it! Thanks for explaining it.
