HALTS
A disabled woman complains to a friend that her assistants always show up late and that she is afraid to complain to the agency which provides them. Her friend advises her to document all of the problems she has with her assistants.
A friend asks a disabled man why he hasn't yet fired his abusive assistant. The disabled man replies that he doesn't want the assistant to go to prison, and doesn't think people would believe a disabled man's story anyway.
The disabled woman agrees, but is afraid that if she complains too much, she will be put in a nursing home. The friend says that she will back up the disabled woman's statements and that she need not be afraid.
A disabled man's mother tells his personal assistant that he is in charge, not her son.
The son complains to his mother, saying that he is a grown man, in charge of his own independent life.
After his mother has left, the disabled man tells his personal assistant that his mother was mistaken. The assistant agrees that the disabled man lives independently and should direct how he wants to live.
Un amigo le pregunta a un hombre discapacitado por qué aún no le ha despedido a su asistente abusivo. El hombre discapacitado le responde que no quiere que su asistente vaya a la cárcel, y que no cree que la gente vaya a creer a un hombre discapacitado.
Una mujer discapacitada se queja a una amiga que sus asistentes siempre llegan atrasados y que tiene miedo de quejarse a la agencia que los manda. Su amiga le aconseja que debe documentar todos los problemas que tiene con sus asistentes.
La mujer discapacitada está de acuerdo, pero tiene miedo de que si se queja mucho, la pondrán en un hogar de grupo. La amiga le dice que le respaldará a la señora discapacitada cuando hace su queja y que no debe tener miedo.
La madre de un hombre discapacitado le dice a su asistente personal que él está a cargo de todo, no su hijo.
El hijo se queja a su madre, diciéndole que es un adulto capaz de controlar su propia vida.
Después de que se vaya su madre, el hombre discapacitado le dice a su asistente que su madre estaba equivocada. El asistente está de acuerdo que el hombre discapacitado tiene una vida independiente y debe controlar como la quiere vivir.
