Algunas cosas que debes recordar…
– Ofrece tu ayuda, pero no lo hagas en forma precipitada. Pregunta primero si lo desea y cómo puedes hacerlo.
– Recuerda, sólo porque una persona utiliza silla de ruedas, no significa que esté enformo. Muchas personas que utilizan silla de ruedas están saludables y fuertes.
– Cuando estés hablando con alguien que utilice silla de ruedas, colócate a la altura de sus ojos. Por ejemplo, sentándote.
– No te preocupes por decir «Mira», «Oye», «Apúrate» cuando hables con amigos con discapacidad. No resulta necesariamente ofensivo.
– Puedes pedirle a una persona con dificultades de lenguaje repetir lo que dijeron si no comprendiste.
– Si un intérprete está ayudándote a comunicarte con una persona sorda, asegúrate de dirigirte a la persona sorda y no al intérprete.
– No alces la voz cuando hables con una persona ciega. Ellos no tienen problemas para escuchar.
– Nunca acaricies o juegues con un perro guía. No puedes distraerlos del trabajo que están desempeñando.
– Invita a tus amigos con discapacidad a pasar la noche en tu casa, a visitarte para jugar o a tu fiesta de cumpleaños. Piensa en cosas que puedes hacer para incluirlo en tus actividades.
– No dejes que tus padres se estacionen en sitios reservados para personas con discapacidad.
– Cuando vayas a un restaurant o pases por un centro comercial, fíjate si sería accesible para un amigo con discapacidad. Así podrás determinar si sería un sitio que podrías visitar con tu amigo especial. Si no es accesible, podrías sugerirle respetuosamente al dueño o encargado tomar en consideración colocar rampas o barandas, ampliar los pasillos o colocar señales en Braille…
– Trata a la persona con una discapacidad como te gustaría que te trataran y tendrás un amigo de por vida.

How was J.C. Chandor, who had never before written or directed a feature film, able to assemble an all-star cast — Zachary Quinto, Kevin Spacey, Jeremy Irons, Paul Bettany, Penn Badgely, Stanley Tucci, Simon Baker, Demi Moore, and Mary McDonnell — for this, his first? By penning a gripping, moving, and timely script with a dozen memorable parts (think Glengarry Glen Ross shifted from a real estate office to Wall Street) and then winning the confidence and backing of Quinto and his production company. The film — which was shot for just $3.5 million over 17 days in New York City, picked up at Sundance by Roadside and Lionsgate, and became a phenomenal hit on VOD — focuses on the response of senior executives at a large Lehman Brothers-like investment bank to a grave discovery made by junior analysts: that excessive leverage of mortgage-backed securities, combined with uprecedented market volatility, will, in just hours, cause the firm to suffer losses greater than its market capitalization, bringing down the too-big-to-fail company and the rest of the market, too. Through the deliberations about how to respond to the crisis, we come to learn about the company's hierarchy (people use and abuse each other all the way up the food chain), the widely-varying concerns of its employees (from survival to maintaining appearances to behaving ethically to pure greed), and the way that each of them justifies his or her actions ("I warned you," "Everything is cyclical," "If we don't do it someone else will," etc.). Everyone is given a fair hearing, and we are reminded (through a magnificent monologue delivered by Tucci) that perhaps it's time to get back to focusing on things that are tactile and help people instead of the opposite.
