00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:08.530 align:middle line:90%


00:00:08.530 --> 00:00:10.320 align:middle line:90%
OK people, listen up.

00:00:10.320 --> 00:00:13.800 align:middle line:84%
Now the camera is going to
follow him right through here

00:00:13.800 --> 00:00:15.770 align:middle line:90%
into that office over there.

00:00:15.770 --> 00:00:18.700 align:middle line:84%
Now I know top business guys and
consultants like this one

00:00:18.700 --> 00:00:20.455 align:middle line:90%
don\'t host videos every day.

00:00:20.455 --> 00:00:24.960 align:middle line:84%
But please, just relax,
say hello, make him

00:00:24.960 --> 00:00:26.520 align:middle line:90%
feel welcome, and--

00:00:26.520 --> 00:00:27.550 align:middle line:90%
OK, here he comes.

00:00:27.550 --> 00:00:30.500 align:middle line:84%
So act natural, be friendly,
and roll tape.

00:00:30.500 --> 00:00:39.362 align:middle line:90%


00:00:39.362 --> 00:00:40.612 align:middle line:90%
Hi everybody.

00:00:40.612 --> 00:00:43.830 align:middle line:90%


00:00:43.830 --> 00:00:46.990 align:middle line:84%
Who were you expecting,
Donald Trump?

00:00:46.990 --> 00:00:48.266 align:middle line:90%
I\'m glad to meet you.

00:00:48.266 --> 00:00:49.510 align:middle line:90%
Hi, Tim Herrington.

00:00:49.510 --> 00:00:51.280 align:middle line:90%
We love you.

00:00:51.280 --> 00:00:52.630 align:middle line:90%
Stand back everyone.

00:00:52.630 --> 00:00:54.660 align:middle line:90%
Is everything OK?

00:00:54.660 --> 00:00:58.240 align:middle line:84%
What will you be talking
about in there?

00:00:58.240 --> 00:01:01.630 align:middle line:84%
Actually, about how to
communicate with people with

00:01:01.630 --> 00:01:02.860 align:middle line:90%
disabilities.

00:01:02.860 --> 00:01:05.970 align:middle line:84%
Did you think of that
all by yourself?

00:01:05.970 --> 00:01:09.060 align:middle line:90%
Oh that\'s so wonderful.

00:01:09.060 --> 00:01:12.125 align:middle line:84%
You really need to see
this video, really--

00:01:12.125 --> 00:01:17.553 align:middle line:90%


00:01:17.553 --> 00:01:20.060 align:middle line:90%
like 200 times.

00:01:20.060 --> 00:01:22.710 align:middle line:90%
I wish I was Donald Trump.

00:01:22.710 --> 00:01:26.355 align:middle line:84%
Imagine what I could pay myself
to host this video.

00:01:26.355 --> 00:01:29.800 align:middle line:90%


00:01:29.800 --> 00:01:31.130 align:middle line:90%
Is this OK?

00:01:31.130 --> 00:01:32.430 align:middle line:90%
Yes, that will be fine.

00:01:32.430 --> 00:01:34.000 align:middle line:90%
Sorry about that out there.

00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:35.400 align:middle line:90%
It\'s OK.

00:01:35.400 --> 00:01:36.792 align:middle line:90%
Let me just try this.

00:01:36.792 --> 00:01:38.060 align:middle line:90%
OK.

00:01:38.060 --> 00:01:43.140 align:middle line:84%
Hi, I\'m Tim Herrington, living
proof that America\'s workplace

00:01:43.140 --> 00:01:44.850 align:middle line:90%
is changing.

00:01:44.850 --> 00:01:49.180 align:middle line:84%
More and more, America\'s 49
million citizens with

00:01:49.180 --> 00:01:53.880 align:middle line:84%
disabilities are getting an
opportunity to show their

00:01:53.880 --> 00:01:57.830 align:middle line:84%
abilities in regular
mainstream jobs.

00:01:57.830 --> 00:02:00.540 align:middle line:84%
That\'s a lot in new
talent coming in.

00:02:00.540 --> 00:02:05.050 align:middle line:84%
But the key to realizing that
talent is creating an

00:02:05.050 --> 00:02:09.479 align:middle line:84%
environment, on the job and off,
that let\'s that talent

00:02:09.479 --> 00:02:13.360 align:middle line:84%
flourish, just like
anyone else\'s.

00:02:13.360 --> 00:02:13.910 align:middle line:90%
Wait.

00:02:13.910 --> 00:02:14.790 align:middle line:90%
Cut.

00:02:14.790 --> 00:02:17.340 align:middle line:84%
This is great, but we\'re
not talking about the

00:02:17.340 --> 00:02:19.750 align:middle line:90%
Garden of Eden here.

00:02:19.750 --> 00:02:24.480 align:middle line:84%
All we\'re asking for is a little
common sense, common

00:02:24.480 --> 00:02:29.110 align:middle line:84%
courtesy, and [? just ?] a few
things to keep in mind.

00:02:29.110 --> 00:02:33.970 align:middle line:84%
That\'s why we\'re calling this
show, Simple Respect, Ten Easy

00:02:33.970 --> 00:02:35.360 align:middle line:90%
Tips, right?

00:02:35.360 --> 00:02:38.390 align:middle line:84%
Oh hey, Mr. Herrington,
about the title--

00:02:38.390 --> 00:02:40.050 align:middle line:84%
the producers decided
we needed something

00:02:40.050 --> 00:02:41.350 align:middle line:90%
a little more dramatic.

00:02:41.350 --> 00:02:44.160 align:middle line:84%
So they came up with
something new.

00:02:44.160 --> 00:02:45.520 align:middle line:90%
Oh really, like what?

00:02:45.520 --> 00:02:56.590 align:middle line:90%


00:02:56.590 --> 00:03:00.330 align:middle line:84%
The Ten Commandments, do you
think I\'m Charlton Heston?

00:03:00.330 --> 00:03:02.190 align:middle line:84%
No, no you\'re still
Tim Herrington.

00:03:02.190 --> 00:03:03.230 align:middle line:90%
You\'re sure?

00:03:03.230 --> 00:03:03.620 align:middle line:90%
Yes

00:03:03.620 --> 00:03:05.930 align:middle line:90%
Alright.

00:03:05.930 --> 00:03:10.490 align:middle line:84%
If anyone out there feels a
little uncomfortable with me

00:03:10.490 --> 00:03:13.310 align:middle line:90%
as host, it\'s OK.

00:03:13.310 --> 00:03:18.050 align:middle line:84%
In fact it\'s natural to feel
a little uncomfortable with

00:03:18.050 --> 00:03:23.010 align:middle line:84%
people in situations you\'re
not familiar with.

00:03:23.010 --> 00:03:28.090 align:middle line:84%
But today you\'ll be getting to
know a number of people who--

00:03:28.090 --> 00:03:32.370 align:middle line:84%
well, they\'re different from
you and from me, at

00:03:32.370 --> 00:03:34.150 align:middle line:90%
least in some ways.

00:03:34.150 --> 00:03:37.220 align:middle line:84%
But they\'re just like
us in others.

00:03:37.220 --> 00:03:41.150 align:middle line:84%
You\'ll see the kinds of
situations these people face

00:03:41.150 --> 00:03:45.240 align:middle line:90%
every day, and get some tips.

00:03:45.240 --> 00:03:49.300 align:middle line:84%
Okay, commandments on
how we can all help.

00:03:49.300 --> 00:03:50.680 align:middle line:90%
Cut

00:03:50.680 --> 00:03:53.080 align:middle line:84%
OK, now we go to the
first commandment?

00:03:53.080 --> 00:03:53.900 align:middle line:90%
Yep.

00:03:53.900 --> 00:03:55.140 align:middle line:90%
We have to?

00:03:55.140 --> 00:03:56.785 align:middle line:90%
Yep, It\'s written in stone.

00:03:56.785 --> 00:04:01.870 align:middle line:90%


00:04:01.870 --> 00:04:04.454 align:middle line:90%
Commandment number one.

00:04:04.454 --> 00:04:08.620 align:middle line:84%
Speak directly to the person,
rather than through a

00:04:08.620 --> 00:04:11.735 align:middle line:84%
companion or sign language
interpreter.

00:04:11.735 --> 00:04:14.290 align:middle line:90%


00:04:14.290 --> 00:04:17.950 align:middle line:84%
This happens a lot in the deaf
community, because others feel

00:04:17.950 --> 00:04:19.210 align:middle line:84%
like deaf people are
not approachable.

00:04:19.210 --> 00:04:23.260 align:middle line:90%


00:04:23.260 --> 00:04:25.363 align:middle line:84%
Here\'s the reports you
wanted last month.

00:04:25.363 --> 00:04:26.700 align:middle line:90%
Thank you a lot Matt.

00:04:26.700 --> 00:04:29.006 align:middle line:84%
Ask her if she wants any
companies of that.

00:04:29.006 --> 00:04:30.000 align:middle line:90%
No, not right now.

00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:30.330 align:middle line:90%
Great.

00:04:30.330 --> 00:04:31.765 align:middle line:84%
Tell her good to
see her again.

00:04:31.765 --> 00:04:37.470 align:middle line:90%


00:04:37.470 --> 00:04:40.860 align:middle line:84%
I think it\'s very important when
speaking to a deaf person

00:04:40.860 --> 00:04:45.360 align:middle line:84%
to maintain direct contact
because the deaf person is

00:04:45.360 --> 00:04:50.630 align:middle line:84%
used to direct contact, which is
a part of the deaf culture.

00:04:50.630 --> 00:04:54.590 align:middle line:84%
When they talk they speak to
each other with their eyes.

00:04:54.590 --> 00:04:58.550 align:middle line:90%


00:04:58.550 --> 00:05:01.920 align:middle line:84%
Speaking face to face is the
most personal means of

00:05:01.920 --> 00:05:04.800 align:middle line:90%
communication there is.

00:05:04.800 --> 00:05:09.340 align:middle line:84%
Someone shouldn\'t be excluded
from that direct contact just

00:05:09.340 --> 00:05:12.690 align:middle line:84%
because they have
a disability.

00:05:12.690 --> 00:05:16.170 align:middle line:84%
And this is a problem for
a lot of people with

00:05:16.170 --> 00:05:20.836 align:middle line:84%
disabilities, not just
those who are deaf.

00:05:20.836 --> 00:05:22.550 align:middle line:84%
Are you finished with
your plate ma\'am?

00:05:22.550 --> 00:05:24.160 align:middle line:90%
Oh yes, thank you.

00:05:24.160 --> 00:05:26.020 align:middle line:84%
Do you think he\'s finished
with his?

00:05:26.020 --> 00:05:28.680 align:middle line:84%
Well I don\'t know, why
don\'t you ask him?

00:05:28.680 --> 00:05:32.050 align:middle line:84%
Remember, when you meet a person
with a disability, keep

00:05:32.050 --> 00:05:36.330 align:middle line:84%
in mind they\'re a person, not
a thing, but a person.

00:05:36.330 --> 00:05:41.020 align:middle line:90%


00:05:41.020 --> 00:05:43.272 align:middle line:90%
Commandment number two.

00:05:43.272 --> 00:05:48.060 align:middle line:84%
Always offer to shake hands
when introduced.

00:05:48.060 --> 00:05:50.240 align:middle line:84%
When I approach people
I shake their hand.

00:05:50.240 --> 00:05:52.510 align:middle line:84%
I think that shaking hands
is an important

00:05:52.510 --> 00:05:53.860 align:middle line:90%
part of greeting someone.

00:05:53.860 --> 00:05:58.150 align:middle line:84%
In the eastern part of the
world, in Asia, it\'s normal to

00:05:58.150 --> 00:06:03.785 align:middle line:84%
bow to each other to show
respect, and in the west it\'s

00:06:03.785 --> 00:06:04.500 align:middle line:90%
shaking hands.

00:06:04.500 --> 00:06:06.980 align:middle line:84%
Either way, it\'s a matter
of showing respect.

00:06:06.980 --> 00:06:09.490 align:middle line:84%
[INAUDIBLE] people with
disabilities sometimes feel

00:06:09.490 --> 00:06:12.590 align:middle line:84%
left out on social
interactions.

00:06:12.590 --> 00:06:16.120 align:middle line:84%
Certainly when they feel someone
doesn\'t want to shake

00:06:16.120 --> 00:06:17.950 align:middle line:84%
their hand, they might
feel slighted.

00:06:17.950 --> 00:06:21.880 align:middle line:84%
People with limited use of their
hand, or people with

00:06:21.880 --> 00:06:24.220 align:middle line:84%
artificial limbs can
shake hands too.

00:06:24.220 --> 00:06:26.870 align:middle line:84%
And offering the left hand
is also acceptable.

00:06:26.870 --> 00:06:28.290 align:middle line:90%
People are people.

00:06:28.290 --> 00:06:29.810 align:middle line:84%
When they meet someone
they want to be able

00:06:29.810 --> 00:06:30.590 align:middle line:90%
to shake their hand.

00:06:30.590 --> 00:06:33.080 align:middle line:84%
They want to be able to relate
to them on a personal level.

00:06:33.080 --> 00:06:36.420 align:middle line:84%
I\'m sure everyone wants to do
that and should be able to

00:06:36.420 --> 00:06:37.670 align:middle line:90%
express themselves.

00:06:37.670 --> 00:06:42.490 align:middle line:90%


00:06:42.490 --> 00:06:45.130 align:middle line:90%
Commandment number three.

00:06:45.130 --> 00:06:50.290 align:middle line:84%
Always identify yourself, and
others who may be with you,

00:06:50.290 --> 00:06:52.335 align:middle line:84%
when meeting someone
who is blind.

00:06:52.335 --> 00:06:55.040 align:middle line:90%


00:06:55.040 --> 00:06:58.290 align:middle line:84%
In my job I deal with the
same people a lot

00:06:58.290 --> 00:06:59.070 align:middle line:90%
throughout the week.

00:06:59.070 --> 00:07:01.060 align:middle line:90%
So I recognize voices.

00:07:01.060 --> 00:07:04.560 align:middle line:84%
But when there are new people
that come into my office I do

00:07:04.560 --> 00:07:07.390 align:middle line:84%
need for them to tell
me who they are.

00:07:07.390 --> 00:07:07.940 align:middle line:90%
Excuse me.

00:07:07.940 --> 00:07:08.990 align:middle line:90%
Hi, Mary?

00:07:08.990 --> 00:07:09.900 align:middle line:90%
Hi?

00:07:09.900 --> 00:07:12.440 align:middle line:84%
Yea, I\'m filling in for the
next couple of weeks.

00:07:12.440 --> 00:07:14.460 align:middle line:84%
They said you could
get tapes for me.

00:07:14.460 --> 00:07:16.050 align:middle line:90%
Now which--

00:07:16.050 --> 00:07:18.010 align:middle line:90%
Hey, Mary\'s taking care of it.

00:07:18.010 --> 00:07:18.810 align:middle line:90%
He\'ll be back Tuesday.

00:07:18.810 --> 00:07:21.810 align:middle line:84%
If you could just a go ahead
and put my name on it.

00:07:21.810 --> 00:07:24.620 align:middle line:90%
And you are?

00:07:24.620 --> 00:07:26.030 align:middle line:90%
Gee, I got to go.

00:07:26.030 --> 00:07:28.590 align:middle line:90%
Gee I got to go--

00:07:28.590 --> 00:07:30.690 align:middle line:90%
unusual name.

00:07:30.690 --> 00:07:32.112 align:middle line:90%
Now, what\'s--

00:07:32.112 --> 00:07:33.250 align:middle line:90%
hello?

00:07:33.250 --> 00:07:37.540 align:middle line:84%
When people leave the room, and
don\'t let you know, it can

00:07:37.540 --> 00:07:39.400 align:middle line:90%
be really awkward.

00:07:39.400 --> 00:07:41.720 align:middle line:84%
I know many times I have
been left standing,

00:07:41.720 --> 00:07:43.450 align:middle line:90%
talking to the air.

00:07:43.450 --> 00:07:46.090 align:middle line:84%
And if they would just think
a little bit before they do

00:07:46.090 --> 00:07:47.840 align:middle line:84%
something like that it
would be easier.

00:07:47.840 --> 00:07:48.990 align:middle line:90%
Hi, Mary?

00:07:48.990 --> 00:07:49.440 align:middle line:90%
Hi.

00:07:49.440 --> 00:07:50.620 align:middle line:90%
Yea, Dave Martin.

00:07:50.620 --> 00:07:53.250 align:middle line:84%
I\'m going to be filling in for
Rick and Pat next week.

00:07:53.250 --> 00:07:55.260 align:middle line:84%
I understand you can get me
those tapes from last week.

00:07:55.260 --> 00:07:56.500 align:middle line:90%
Sure, no problem.

00:07:56.500 --> 00:07:57.500 align:middle line:90%
Great.

00:07:57.500 --> 00:07:59.600 align:middle line:90%
Hey, Mary\'s taking care of it.

00:07:59.600 --> 00:08:01.970 align:middle line:90%
That was Rick.

00:08:01.970 --> 00:08:05.205 align:middle line:84%
If you could take care of those
tapes and put my name on

00:08:05.205 --> 00:08:06.160 align:middle line:90%
it, that\'d be great.

00:08:06.160 --> 00:08:07.030 align:middle line:90%
And that\'s?

00:08:07.030 --> 00:08:09.600 align:middle line:90%
Dave, Dave Martin.

00:08:09.600 --> 00:08:10.700 align:middle line:90%
Thanks, thanks a lot.

00:08:10.700 --> 00:08:11.350 align:middle line:90%
Bye now.

00:08:11.350 --> 00:08:12.830 align:middle line:90%
Bye Dave.

00:08:12.830 --> 00:08:16.840 align:middle line:84%
It\'s really helpful to let a
blind person know what\'s on

00:08:16.840 --> 00:08:19.387 align:middle line:84%
the plate, and what\'s
on the table.

00:08:19.387 --> 00:08:20.790 align:middle line:90%
[INAUDIBLE].

00:08:20.790 --> 00:08:22.230 align:middle line:90%
Thank you

00:08:22.230 --> 00:08:23.730 align:middle line:84%
Can I give you a description
of what\'s

00:08:23.730 --> 00:08:24.990 align:middle line:90%
on your plate Reggie?

00:08:24.990 --> 00:08:25.330 align:middle line:90%
Yea, I\'m starved.

00:08:25.330 --> 00:08:26.520 align:middle line:90%
What does it look like?

00:08:26.520 --> 00:08:29.570 align:middle line:84%
Well, your fries are at the one
o\'clock position they look

00:08:29.570 --> 00:08:32.659 align:middle line:84%
really good and then your dill
pickle spear is at the 9

00:08:32.659 --> 00:08:33.820 align:middle line:90%
o\'clock position.

00:08:33.820 --> 00:08:37.100 align:middle line:84%
And your hamburger is at the 6
o\'clock position, with the bun

00:08:37.100 --> 00:08:38.080 align:middle line:90%
right next to it--

00:08:38.080 --> 00:08:42.090 align:middle line:84%
The most helpful thing that you
can do when talking with a

00:08:42.090 --> 00:08:46.260 align:middle line:84%
blind person, or dining with a
blind person, is to allow them

00:08:46.260 --> 00:08:49.180 align:middle line:84%
to be as independent as
they would like to be.

00:08:49.180 --> 00:08:53.490 align:middle line:90%


00:08:53.490 --> 00:08:55.380 align:middle line:90%
Commandment number four.

00:08:55.380 --> 00:09:01.260 align:middle line:84%
If you offer assistance, wait
until the offer is accepted.

00:09:01.260 --> 00:09:06.460 align:middle line:84%
Then listen, wait, or ask
for instructions.

00:09:06.460 --> 00:09:09.170 align:middle line:90%
Everyone has good intentions.

00:09:09.170 --> 00:09:13.320 align:middle line:84%
It\'s just how you use those good
intentions that makes all

00:09:13.320 --> 00:09:16.862 align:middle line:90%
the difference

00:09:16.862 --> 00:09:18.510 align:middle line:84%
Oh here, I can help
you with these.

00:09:18.510 --> 00:09:20.030 align:middle line:90%
This will be no problem.

00:09:20.030 --> 00:09:21.030 align:middle line:90%
These look really heavy.

00:09:21.030 --> 00:09:22.730 align:middle line:84%
Boy, it\'s a good thing
I came along because

00:09:22.730 --> 00:09:23.680 align:middle line:90%
these are really heavy.

00:09:23.680 --> 00:09:26.580 align:middle line:84%
And you\'d have a hard time
putting these in your car.

00:09:26.580 --> 00:09:27.300 align:middle line:90%
Yea, well I--

00:09:27.300 --> 00:09:27.990 align:middle line:90%
These are really heavy.

00:09:27.990 --> 00:09:30.120 align:middle line:90%
Do you have your keys yet?

00:09:30.120 --> 00:09:32.980 align:middle line:84%
I can help you back your
car out for you.

00:09:32.980 --> 00:09:35.415 align:middle line:90%
Oh, well thank you.

00:09:35.415 --> 00:09:38.950 align:middle line:90%
But this in my car!

00:09:38.950 --> 00:09:41.610 align:middle line:84%
People with disabilities,
they want to feel as

00:09:41.610 --> 00:09:44.120 align:middle line:90%
independent as possible.

00:09:44.120 --> 00:09:51.460 align:middle line:84%
And if that is taken away from
them, that\'s really doing a

00:09:51.460 --> 00:09:53.092 align:middle line:90%
disservice.

00:09:53.092 --> 00:09:55.090 align:middle line:84%
Sonny, does is your mommy
know you\'re here?

00:09:55.090 --> 00:09:57.740 align:middle line:84%
They\'re fighting to remain
independent.

00:09:57.740 --> 00:10:03.110 align:middle line:84%
So we shouldn\'t rob them really,
of that aspect of

00:10:03.110 --> 00:10:05.130 align:middle line:90%
their lives.

00:10:05.130 --> 00:10:10.650 align:middle line:84%
So always ask first if they
want help, and then

00:10:10.650 --> 00:10:12.300 align:middle line:90%
how they want it.

00:10:12.300 --> 00:10:13.550 align:middle line:90%
Walk in their shoes.

00:10:13.550 --> 00:10:18.510 align:middle line:90%


00:10:18.510 --> 00:10:21.120 align:middle line:90%
Commandment number five.

00:10:21.120 --> 00:10:25.370 align:middle line:90%
Treat adults as adults.

00:10:25.370 --> 00:10:27.695 align:middle line:90%
Sometimes people I work with--

00:10:27.695 --> 00:10:32.370 align:middle line:84%
sometimes they treat
me as a juvenile.

00:10:32.370 --> 00:10:34.130 align:middle line:84%
They treat me as
very immature.

00:10:34.130 --> 00:10:38.530 align:middle line:84%
I like people who treat me the
way everybody else gets

00:10:38.530 --> 00:10:40.810 align:middle line:90%
treated, not special--

00:10:40.810 --> 00:10:42.840 align:middle line:90%
just like everybody else.

00:10:42.840 --> 00:10:46.780 align:middle line:84%
Sometimes, people with
disabilities get treated like

00:10:46.780 --> 00:10:49.200 align:middle line:90%
children Here\'s an example.

00:10:49.200 --> 00:10:50.670 align:middle line:90%
Hey Julie, I\'m sorry I\'m late.

00:10:50.670 --> 00:10:51.650 align:middle line:90%
That\'s OK.

00:10:51.650 --> 00:10:52.900 align:middle line:90%
[INAUDIBLE]

00:10:52.900 --> 00:11:01.940 align:middle line:90%


00:11:01.940 --> 00:11:04.390 align:middle line:84%
Would your little friend
like a booster seat?

00:11:04.390 --> 00:11:07.180 align:middle line:84%
No, her little friend would
not like a booster seat.

00:11:07.180 --> 00:11:11.036 align:middle line:84%
And she would appreciate if you
talked to her next time.

00:11:11.036 --> 00:11:14.030 align:middle line:90%
OK?

00:11:14.030 --> 00:11:17.810 align:middle line:84%
On the other hand, it\'s great
when someone takes the time to

00:11:17.810 --> 00:11:20.990 align:middle line:84%
make things easier for someone
with a disability.

00:11:20.990 --> 00:11:22.150 align:middle line:90%
How are you today?

00:11:22.150 --> 00:11:22.570 align:middle line:90%
Fine.

00:11:22.570 --> 00:11:24.010 align:middle line:84%
Good, how can I help
you today?

00:11:24.010 --> 00:11:26.190 align:middle line:84%
I need to make a deposit
and check my balance.

00:11:26.190 --> 00:11:28.800 align:middle line:84%
OK, why don\'t you step right
over to the desk area, and I

00:11:28.800 --> 00:11:30.050 align:middle line:90%
can help you over there.

00:11:30.050 --> 00:11:36.690 align:middle line:90%


00:11:36.690 --> 00:11:37.770 align:middle line:90%
Thank you.

00:11:37.770 --> 00:11:39.140 align:middle line:90%
That is much easier.

00:11:39.140 --> 00:11:42.380 align:middle line:84%
Address people with disabilities
by their first

00:11:42.380 --> 00:11:45.820 align:middle line:84%
names only when calling
everybody else

00:11:45.820 --> 00:11:47.890 align:middle line:90%
by their first names.

00:11:47.890 --> 00:11:48.690 align:middle line:90%
Dr. Schmidt--

00:11:48.690 --> 00:11:48.800 align:middle line:90%
Yes.

00:11:48.800 --> 00:11:50.530 align:middle line:84%
Mr. Wilbur is going
to be late today,

00:11:50.530 --> 00:11:52.095 align:middle line:90%
and Mrs. Rogers cancelled.

00:11:52.095 --> 00:11:55.030 align:middle line:84%
So I thought maybe we could
see Chris today.

00:11:55.030 --> 00:11:56.710 align:middle line:90%
Oh, you mean Mr. Clarkson?

00:11:56.710 --> 00:12:00.150 align:middle line:84%
You\'re right, I mean
Mr. Clarkson.

00:12:00.150 --> 00:12:02.870 align:middle line:84%
So Mr. Clarkson, what seems
to be problem today?

00:12:02.870 --> 00:12:07.310 align:middle line:84%
Never patronize people in
wheelchairs by patting them on

00:12:07.310 --> 00:12:10.070 align:middle line:90%
their head or shoulder.

00:12:10.070 --> 00:12:14.260 align:middle line:84%
I pay bills I work
for a living.

00:12:14.260 --> 00:12:17.950 align:middle line:84%
And last, but certainly
not least, I pay

00:12:17.950 --> 00:12:20.210 align:middle line:90%
my share of my taxes.

00:12:20.210 --> 00:12:24.390 align:middle line:84%
I\'m at the point now where I\'m
30, and I deserve to be

00:12:24.390 --> 00:12:26.200 align:middle line:90%
treated as an adult.

00:12:26.200 --> 00:12:30.330 align:middle line:90%


00:12:30.330 --> 00:12:32.815 align:middle line:90%
Commandment number six.

00:12:32.815 --> 00:12:38.960 align:middle line:84%
Do not lean against or hang on
someone\'s wheelchair or cart.

00:12:38.960 --> 00:12:42.640 align:middle line:84%
Bear in mind that people with
disabilities treat their

00:12:42.640 --> 00:12:47.380 align:middle line:84%
chairs as extensions
of their bodies.

00:12:47.380 --> 00:12:51.160 align:middle line:84%
One thing that really aggravates
me is when somebody

00:12:51.160 --> 00:12:55.970 align:middle line:84%
goes by me and they might
bump into my wheel.

00:12:55.970 --> 00:12:59.240 align:middle line:84%
And because they haven\'t
bumped into my person

00:12:59.240 --> 00:13:04.310 align:middle line:84%
physically, they don\'t feel the
need to say, excuse me.

00:13:04.310 --> 00:13:07.420 align:middle line:84%
But that does send a jolt
through my body.

00:13:07.420 --> 00:13:11.450 align:middle line:84%
I\'ve even been to a social
function where somebody may

00:13:11.450 --> 00:13:15.090 align:middle line:90%
put their foot up on my wheel.

00:13:15.090 --> 00:13:18.200 align:middle line:84%
I said, hey, I\'m not
a coffee table.

00:13:18.200 --> 00:13:22.350 align:middle line:84%
I have had people lean up
against my chair, like I\'m

00:13:22.350 --> 00:13:25.055 align:middle line:84%
some kind of a post,
and I\'m not.

00:13:25.055 --> 00:13:28.100 align:middle line:84%
And there are sometimes I really
wish I could just show

00:13:28.100 --> 00:13:29.955 align:middle line:84%
them how inconsiderate
they\'re being.

00:13:29.955 --> 00:13:33.540 align:middle line:84%
You know Champ really does do
a lot of things for me.

00:13:33.540 --> 00:13:38.650 align:middle line:84%
He can pick up something as
small as a dime, or something

00:13:38.650 --> 00:13:41.020 align:middle line:84%
as important as my TV
remote control.

00:13:41.020 --> 00:13:45.170 align:middle line:84%
Whether it\'s a helping dog for
somebody in a wheelchair, or

00:13:45.170 --> 00:13:48.390 align:middle line:84%
whether it\'s a guide for
somebody who\'s blind, you

00:13:48.390 --> 00:13:52.820 align:middle line:84%
never want to distract a working
animal from its job,

00:13:52.820 --> 00:13:54.710 align:middle line:84%
without the owner\'s
permission.

00:13:54.710 --> 00:13:58.420 align:middle line:84%
I am a person with
a disability.

00:13:58.420 --> 00:14:01.440 align:middle line:90%
I\'m not a disabled person.

00:14:01.440 --> 00:14:06.940 align:middle line:84%
And I want respect, just
like anybody else.

00:14:06.940 --> 00:14:11.010 align:middle line:84%
And I would appreciate respect
for my wheelchair,

00:14:11.010 --> 00:14:12.270 align:middle line:90%
and for my dog also.

00:14:12.270 --> 00:14:16.850 align:middle line:90%


00:14:16.850 --> 00:14:19.470 align:middle line:90%
Commandment number seven.

00:14:19.470 --> 00:14:23.040 align:middle line:84%
Listen attentively when talking
with people who have

00:14:23.040 --> 00:14:24.940 align:middle line:90%
difficulty speaking.

00:14:24.940 --> 00:14:28.450 align:middle line:90%
And wait for them to finish.

00:14:28.450 --> 00:14:32.340 align:middle line:84%
Yeah I know, I\'m supposed
to be the host of this.

00:14:32.340 --> 00:14:36.510 align:middle line:84%
But this commandment hits a
little close to home for me.

00:14:36.510 --> 00:14:39.500 align:middle line:84%
So I\'m going to be
doing this one.

00:14:39.500 --> 00:14:44.900 align:middle line:84%
I have cerebral palsy, which
affects my speech also.

00:14:44.900 --> 00:14:49.150 align:middle line:84%
I remember times when I
try to call for pizza

00:14:49.150 --> 00:14:51.400 align:middle line:90%
when I was in college.

00:14:51.400 --> 00:14:55.120 align:middle line:84%
And they would hang up on me
because they thought I was

00:14:55.120 --> 00:14:57.650 align:middle line:84%
drunk, or trying to
pull a prank.

00:14:57.650 --> 00:15:01.080 align:middle line:84%
And if you like pizza
as much as I do,

00:15:01.080 --> 00:15:03.140 align:middle line:90%
that can be a tragedy.

00:15:03.140 --> 00:15:06.070 align:middle line:90%
All I can say is, be patient.

00:15:06.070 --> 00:15:09.510 align:middle line:90%
Never pretend to understand.

00:15:09.510 --> 00:15:14.840 align:middle line:84%
Instead, repeat and paraphrase
what you understood, and then

00:15:14.840 --> 00:15:17.700 align:middle line:90%
allow the person to respond.

00:15:17.700 --> 00:15:20.720 align:middle line:84%
I\'m sorry you said you
wanted a hamburger?

00:15:20.720 --> 00:15:23.930 align:middle line:90%
No, I\'d like a cheeseburger.

00:15:23.930 --> 00:15:26.720 align:middle line:90%
Oh, a cheeseburger.

00:15:26.720 --> 00:15:29.610 align:middle line:84%
Let me go ahead and
get this straight

00:15:29.610 --> 00:15:37.710 align:middle line:84%
Would you like ketchup, pickles,
lettuce and tomatoes?

00:15:37.710 --> 00:15:38.920 align:middle line:90%
OK.

00:15:38.920 --> 00:15:44.780 align:middle line:84%
If necessary, ask questions that
require short answers, or

00:15:44.780 --> 00:15:46.360 align:middle line:90%
a nod of the head.

00:15:46.360 --> 00:15:50.100 align:middle line:84%
Many say that the more they
are around people who have

00:15:50.100 --> 00:15:54.090 align:middle line:84%
speech difficulties, the easier
it is for them to

00:15:54.090 --> 00:15:55.880 align:middle line:84%
understand what they
are saying.

00:15:55.880 --> 00:16:00.330 align:middle line:90%


00:16:00.330 --> 00:16:02.750 align:middle line:90%
Commandment number eight.

00:16:02.750 --> 00:16:07.240 align:middle line:84%
Place yourself at eye level when
speaking with someone in

00:16:07.240 --> 00:16:11.100 align:middle line:90%
a wheelchair or on crutches.

00:16:11.100 --> 00:16:14.270 align:middle line:84%
Many people don\'t realize how
much time a person in a

00:16:14.270 --> 00:16:17.370 align:middle line:84%
wheelchair spends looking
up at other people.

00:16:17.370 --> 00:16:21.810 align:middle line:84%
I go to a lot of conferences,
public events where it really

00:16:21.810 --> 00:16:23.072 align:middle line:90%
becomes noticeable.

00:16:23.072 --> 00:16:25.440 align:middle line:84%
The strain on your neck
and your back--

00:16:25.440 --> 00:16:29.630 align:middle line:84%
it becomes quite uncomfortable
and distracting from the

00:16:29.630 --> 00:16:30.800 align:middle line:90%
conversation.

00:16:30.800 --> 00:16:35.375 align:middle line:84%
As a co-owner of a van rental
service that rents accessible

00:16:35.375 --> 00:16:41.100 align:middle line:84%
vans for wheelchair users, we
come across different people

00:16:41.100 --> 00:16:44.510 align:middle line:84%
with different disabilities,
different behaviors.

00:16:44.510 --> 00:16:48.770 align:middle line:84%
And when you make an effort to
be at eye level with the

00:16:48.770 --> 00:16:52.540 align:middle line:84%
person they seem to be more
comfortable, more relaxed, and

00:16:52.540 --> 00:16:55.530 align:middle line:84%
more open with you so
that we can get the

00:16:55.530 --> 00:16:57.670 align:middle line:90%
business at hand conducted.

00:16:57.670 --> 00:17:02.520 align:middle line:84%
And something else to watch out
for is talking to someone

00:17:02.520 --> 00:17:06.450 align:middle line:84%
in a wheelchair when you\'re out
of their line of sight.

00:17:06.450 --> 00:17:10.849 align:middle line:84%
It\'s very difficult to stay in
the conversation, or focus on

00:17:10.849 --> 00:17:14.390 align:middle line:84%
it, if you\'re trying to maneuver
your chair to catch

00:17:14.390 --> 00:17:16.675 align:middle line:84%
whoever it is trying to
say something to you.

00:17:16.675 --> 00:17:22.990 align:middle line:90%


00:17:22.990 --> 00:17:25.370 align:middle line:90%
Commandment number nine.

00:17:25.370 --> 00:17:29.350 align:middle line:84%
Tap a person who is deaf on
the shoulder, or wave your

00:17:29.350 --> 00:17:34.510 align:middle line:84%
hand to get his or
her attention.

00:17:34.510 --> 00:17:39.630 align:middle line:84%
This is a well known situation
in the deaf community among

00:17:39.630 --> 00:17:40.900 align:middle line:90%
all my friends.

00:17:40.900 --> 00:17:44.062 align:middle line:84%
Hey, I was just in that last
presentation with Irene Ward.

00:17:44.062 --> 00:17:45.910 align:middle line:90%
That was really, really good.

00:17:45.910 --> 00:17:48.980 align:middle line:90%
How did you enjoy that one?

00:17:48.980 --> 00:17:51.630 align:middle line:90%
Hello?

00:17:51.630 --> 00:17:55.000 align:middle line:84%
It\'s important to get the
person\'s attention first, then

00:17:55.000 --> 00:17:59.520 align:middle line:84%
look directly at the person,
speaking clearly, slowly, and

00:17:59.520 --> 00:18:03.350 align:middle line:84%
expressively to establish if
the person can read lips.

00:18:03.350 --> 00:18:06.980 align:middle line:84%
If so, try to face the light
source, and keep hands,

00:18:06.980 --> 00:18:11.200 align:middle line:84%
cigarettes, and food away from
your mouth when speaking.

00:18:11.200 --> 00:18:14.140 align:middle line:84%
In my own case, since I don\'t
wear a hearing aid or have an

00:18:14.140 --> 00:18:20.100 align:middle line:84%
interpreter, people may forget
that I do have a disability,

00:18:20.100 --> 00:18:22.650 align:middle line:84%
and that I am reading
their lips.

00:18:22.650 --> 00:18:26.870 align:middle line:84%
However, just because a person
is using a hearing aid, don\'t

00:18:26.870 --> 00:18:30.360 align:middle line:84%
assume they have the ability
to discriminate you\'re

00:18:30.360 --> 00:18:31.730 align:middle line:90%
speaking voice.

00:18:31.730 --> 00:18:35.430 align:middle line:84%
And don\'t shout at the person,
it doesn\'t help.

00:18:35.430 --> 00:18:37.080 align:middle line:90%
How about you [? Shalinda, ?]

00:18:37.080 --> 00:18:38.190 align:middle line:90%
did you enjoy it?

00:18:38.190 --> 00:18:42.930 align:middle line:84%
Just speak in a normal tone of
voice, and one more thing.

00:18:42.930 --> 00:18:46.000 align:middle line:84%
I wanted to tell you all that
the company has just announced

00:18:46.000 --> 00:18:50.240 align:middle line:84%
the number one data analyst in
the state, and it\'s our own

00:18:50.240 --> 00:18:50.610 align:middle line:90%
[? Shalinda ?]

00:18:50.610 --> 00:18:51.700 align:middle line:90%
Delaney.

00:18:51.700 --> 00:18:54.435 align:middle line:84%
It\'s good to clap in a
visual way when you

00:18:54.435 --> 00:18:56.810 align:middle line:90%
are with deaf people.

00:18:56.810 --> 00:19:00.140 align:middle line:84%
It shows your appreciation
of a deaf culture.

00:19:00.140 --> 00:19:04.950 align:middle line:90%


00:19:04.950 --> 00:19:07.520 align:middle line:90%
Commandment number ten.

00:19:07.520 --> 00:19:08.887 align:middle line:90%
Relax.

00:19:08.887 --> 00:19:12.260 align:middle line:84%
Don\'t be embarrassed if you
happen to use common

00:19:12.260 --> 00:19:15.470 align:middle line:84%
expressions that seem to
relate to a person\'s

00:19:15.470 --> 00:19:17.030 align:middle line:90%
disability.

00:19:17.030 --> 00:19:20.360 align:middle line:84%
This last one is so
simple, everyone

00:19:20.360 --> 00:19:22.540 align:middle line:90%
wanted in on this one.

00:19:22.540 --> 00:19:26.110 align:middle line:84%
So as I pack up,
listen to this.

00:19:26.110 --> 00:19:29.320 align:middle line:84%
When people meet me and they see
that I use a wheelchair,

00:19:29.320 --> 00:19:31.920 align:middle line:84%
sometimes they\'re a bit
uncomfortable about saying

00:19:31.920 --> 00:19:32.780 align:middle line:90%
certain things.

00:19:32.780 --> 00:19:38.430 align:middle line:84%
For example, running around, hop
skip and a jump, walking

00:19:38.430 --> 00:19:42.250 align:middle line:84%
to the park, but really I see
those things as figures of

00:19:42.250 --> 00:19:44.840 align:middle line:84%
speech and they don\'t make
me uncomfortable.

00:19:44.840 --> 00:19:47.450 align:middle line:84%
So nobody else really
needs to be either.

00:19:47.450 --> 00:19:51.240 align:middle line:84%
Most people who haven\'t been
with a blind person are afraid

00:19:51.240 --> 00:19:55.520 align:middle line:84%
to use the words, see,
or look, or watch.

00:19:55.520 --> 00:19:58.110 align:middle line:84%
But after they\'ve been with me
for awhile they realize that I

00:19:58.110 --> 00:20:00.140 align:middle line:90%
say, see you later.

00:20:00.140 --> 00:20:04.710 align:middle line:84%
I say, did you see the
movie last week.

00:20:04.710 --> 00:20:06.800 align:middle line:90%
I watch TV.

00:20:06.800 --> 00:20:10.900 align:middle line:84%
When I talk to even another
blind person, I may say, look

00:20:10.900 --> 00:20:13.020 align:middle line:84%
at this, and hand them
something that I

00:20:13.020 --> 00:20:14.750 align:middle line:90%
want them to see.

00:20:14.750 --> 00:20:16.000 align:middle line:90%
And there I did it myself.

00:20:16.000 --> 00:20:18.530 align:middle line:90%


00:20:18.530 --> 00:20:22.130 align:middle line:84%
Many people say, listen to
this, listen to that.

00:20:22.130 --> 00:20:23.640 align:middle line:90%
That\'s OK.

00:20:23.640 --> 00:20:25.920 align:middle line:84%
It\'s not related
to my deafness.

00:20:25.920 --> 00:20:30.440 align:middle line:84%
It\'s just a way of people
expressing themselves.

00:20:30.440 --> 00:20:33.960 align:middle line:90%
We don\'t say, here feel this.

00:20:33.960 --> 00:20:35.650 align:middle line:90%
We say, here look at this.

00:20:35.650 --> 00:20:41.000 align:middle line:84%
I use terms like, running,
walking, that sort of thing.

00:20:41.000 --> 00:20:44.970 align:middle line:84%
And when my husband pushes me
in my wheelchair, I don\'t

00:20:44.970 --> 00:20:49.130 align:middle line:84%
later tell a friend that he
walked and I rolled somewhere.

00:20:49.130 --> 00:20:51.990 align:middle line:84%
So, we\'ve really all got better
things to worry about

00:20:51.990 --> 00:20:55.240 align:middle line:84%
than watching every little
thing that we say.

00:20:55.240 --> 00:20:57.140 align:middle line:90%
People need to lighten up.

00:20:57.140 --> 00:21:01.470 align:middle line:84%
It\'s amazing what it does for
the atmosphere, not to mention

00:21:01.470 --> 00:21:04.130 align:middle line:84%
the efficiency of
the workplace.

00:21:04.130 --> 00:21:08.420 align:middle line:84%
If people are always nervous
about every word they say,

00:21:08.420 --> 00:21:11.370 align:middle line:90%
they end up not communicating.

00:21:11.370 --> 00:21:15.290 align:middle line:84%
And for a person with
disabilities, nothing can be

00:21:15.290 --> 00:21:16.370 align:middle line:90%
worse than that.

00:21:16.370 --> 00:21:18.770 align:middle line:90%
All done communicating?

00:21:18.770 --> 00:21:20.410 align:middle line:90%
Almost nothing.

00:21:20.410 --> 00:21:21.890 align:middle line:90%
That\'s a mouthful, isn\'t it?

00:21:21.890 --> 00:21:23.325 align:middle line:90%
Even for me.

00:21:23.325 --> 00:21:23.800 align:middle line:90%
Cut.

00:21:23.800 --> 00:21:25.950 align:middle line:90%
Can you get her out of here?

00:21:25.950 --> 00:21:29.470 align:middle line:90%
One minute please.

00:21:29.470 --> 00:21:32.480 align:middle line:84%
Simple respect, that\'s
what these

00:21:32.480 --> 00:21:35.120 align:middle line:90%
commandments are all about--

00:21:35.120 --> 00:21:40.210 align:middle line:84%
not treating individuals like
children, but like adults, who

00:21:40.210 --> 00:21:44.120 align:middle line:84%
like everyone else have
different strength and

00:21:44.120 --> 00:21:45.180 align:middle line:90%
different needs.

00:21:45.180 --> 00:21:47.020 align:middle line:90%
You know we\'re all different.

00:21:47.020 --> 00:21:49.720 align:middle line:90%


00:21:49.720 --> 00:21:51.040 align:middle line:90%
Some more than others.

00:21:51.040 --> 00:21:54.560 align:middle line:90%


00:21:54.560 --> 00:21:56.352 align:middle line:90%
There you are.

00:21:56.352 --> 00:21:58.480 align:middle line:84%
You know, some of my
best friends have

00:21:58.480 --> 00:22:00.230 align:middle line:90%
friends just like you.

00:22:00.230 --> 00:22:02.160 align:middle line:90%
Oh really, so do mine.

00:22:02.160 --> 00:22:05.070 align:middle line:84%
Now I insist on walking
you to the bus.

00:22:05.070 --> 00:22:07.180 align:middle line:90%
No thanks, I drove.

00:22:07.180 --> 00:22:09.455 align:middle line:90%
All by yourself?

00:22:09.455 --> 00:22:13.750 align:middle line:84%
How fast can we get a copy of
this video for this woman?

00:22:13.750 --> 00:22:17.692 align:middle line:84%
Soon, Mr. Harrington,
real soon.

00:22:17.692 --> 00:22:19.075 align:middle line:90%
For me?

00:22:19.075 --> 00:22:20.440 align:middle line:90%
Hey, you deserve it.

00:22:20.440 --> 00:22:30.541 align:middle line:90%


00:22:30.541 --> 00:22:32.140 align:middle line:84%
[? She wanted ?] some
bloopers, remember?

00:22:32.140 --> 00:22:34.850 align:middle line:90%
We\'ve got some bloopers.

00:22:34.850 --> 00:22:38.106 align:middle line:90%
Living example of [MUMBLING].

00:22:38.106 --> 00:22:39.356 align:middle line:90%
[INAUDIBLE]

00:22:39.356 --> 00:22:43.060 align:middle line:90%


00:22:43.060 --> 00:22:43.560 align:middle line:90%
That\'s

00:22:43.560 --> 00:22:52.060 align:middle line:90%
real bad [LAUGHTER]

00:22:52.060 --> 00:22:56.160 align:middle line:84%
Oh gosh, can she say
her part first?

00:22:56.160 --> 00:22:59.104 align:middle line:90%
I [INAUDIBLE].

00:22:59.104 --> 00:23:09.796 align:middle line:90%
I lost 55 pounds on Slim Fast.

00:23:09.796 --> 00:23:11.369 align:middle line:90%
You know, we\'re all different.

00:23:11.369 --> 00:23:26.360 align:middle line:90%


00:23:26.360 --> 00:23:28.376 align:middle line:84%
Oh, I\'ve got the perfect
one, like Siamese cats.

00:23:28.376 --> 00:23:31.292 align:middle line:90%


00:23:31.292 --> 00:23:32.542 align:middle line:90%
Mr. [INAUDIBLE].

00:23:32.542 --> 00:23:41.510 align:middle line:90%


00:23:41.510 --> 00:23:43.794 align:middle line:84%
Nothing up my sleeve,
I might add.

00:23:43.794 --> 00:23:46.514 align:middle line:90%
That was a joke.

00:23:46.514 --> 00:23:50.457 align:middle line:84%
They see my wheelchair, so they
think they need to make a

00:23:50.457 --> 00:23:53.760 align:middle line:84%
joke to break the ice, like, hey
slow down you\'re going to

00:23:53.760 --> 00:23:54.790 align:middle line:90%
get a speeding ticket.

00:23:54.790 --> 00:23:56.590 align:middle line:90%
Yea, slow down.

00:23:56.590 --> 00:23:57.570 align:middle line:90%
Slow down.

00:23:57.570 --> 00:24:00.555 align:middle line:84%
And while I don\'t mind the
jokes, it would be nice if

00:24:00.555 --> 00:24:02.314 align:middle line:84%
somebody got some new material
for a change.

00:24:02.314 --> 00:24:05.310 align:middle line:90%


00:24:05.310 --> 00:24:08.060 align:middle line:84%
A gentleman asked me
if I was Italian.

00:24:08.060 --> 00:24:11.056 align:middle line:84%
And I asked him why
he asked me that.

00:24:11.056 --> 00:24:12.958 align:middle line:84%
He said, because you always
talk with your hands.

00:24:12.958 --> 00:25:46.891 align:middle line:90%
