‘Miguel de Cervantes’ Vincent Van Gogh
franklin delano roosevelt stephen
hawking christopher reeve
helen keller nick vujicic and also demo
have been looking for nemo no demo
born with a difference and be different
it’s normal it ‘s normal to be different when
I say that it is a lifestyle is
because each one of them took the
decision to transform your life
and what they did transformed
the world frida kahlo mexican artist
has a phrase that is absolutely
inspiring says feet so that the
I want
if I have wings to fly this goes more
beyond the true thought and the
will opens up fly to me I love
I am like a little boy on a plane took
photographs of the blue skies from
the cabin was airplane but the most
important to fly that is power
land and you need a train of
landing and guess who has train of
landing
wheels the wheel was a great invention of
universal design and for I’m talking
of wheels because I bring this great friend
mine that accompanies me for a long time
he is called pp affectionately pp because
because it is that many people tell him
another way and I would like to know you
how do you say you know who I am
you know who I am what symbol is
that the symbol represents this
boy is capable and in Colombia we
they say yes in colombia tell us that this
It is the symbol of disability hear
incredible come here in the
pepe reality that lies fall
cloud is not the symbol of disability
It is the international symbol
accessibility and we have been 50 years
saying that this is disability is not
true he made seven thousand one and colombia
Adopts the symbol with the technical standard
colombian of nfc 41 39 then pp us
has also changed a lot because we
is showing a kind
also the label that pp has a
cuz I already die pipe and in the usa the
true new york mayoralty through
from his office an accessible office ‘
icon project
sandra servent designs something similar for
say that new york is accessible or
some environments are accessible
then I begin to understand that pipe
it is in a true aerodynamic position
and it shows that it is sexy sexy can
move easily by your own means
but still pp are pictograms that
They are recognized by 7.500 million
humans on this planet and that number 5
most recognized pictograms and it
recognizes is like certain disability
united nations in 2015 says it
finished the guachafita the feast is over
as well as the labels that the
exclusive parking for
disabled exclusive bathroom for
disabled and look cool
we like true mall and
find ladies bath men’s bathroom
and find pp they will stamp another wall or
be that we are the third gender
this was for teasing her and for
take them out of their children
but it’s not no we’re not going so far but
you do not just walk into the bathroom pepe
because it’s the bathroom
disabled you do not stop at the
pepe parking because that
parking the disabled and it’s
more I will not say honestly tell me
how many of you sit in the
blue chair of trasmilenio when it is
I ‘m also unemployed for years and she’s not
think three times I’m not that the
chair the disabled those chairs
for you also because it is that it results
that the symbol that accessibility that
universal and united nations said it’s over
the guachafita and we’re going to throw the cousin
of pepe and pipe put music and paco bajo
is inspired by Vitruvio because I think
that’s not what the design office said
united nations graph true but
leonardo da vinci leonardo in 1490 did
a super cool study based on
vitruvian vitruvian man a
Roman architect of the first century who
established the proportions of the body
human with respect to their environment because
for ccoo it is very similar and pako
identifies the diverse human being
baby infant teenager adult person
older and you are telling me that you are
enrolled among an environment that is
composed by that by spaces by
communications by objects and by
services is a neutral symbol is
impartial and this can help us to
improve the interpretation a bit
goodbye labels from today you
has to make a change a change of
chip and says no ricardo is not
disabled bird or handicapped
disabled
I want you to start connecting
the concept minus term husband
pejorative Aryan maximum that will mean
being maxival I told him it was a style
of life let’s see what it is now
goodbye labels 0 because because I do not
I am a tag situm tags you me
you deny the opportunity to share
with you on equal terms in
a preferential row in a warehouse
large surfaces or in a bank and or
I get to the row where you are going to
turn off your market and I stand behind
You and you look at me like that
sir you doing in this row like
so what do I do in this row to me
touch look up and down
Mr. you doing row for that
his is there
as well as the retirements there that is the
fine of the disabled the row
preferential as of today the concept
preferential we will understand it as
something exclusive certainly what happened
the person took me out of there and prevented me
share with you
You yourself table with her I wanted
share with you this new divine
so can not be
so look at the labels,
they work I am not an adjective I do not
I’m a transmilenio thing 5 and 30 of the
late full bus I will be a station
and the very dear people say of the space
the wheelchair that will leave chair
of wheels will be going with pilot
automatic because it is
that is being driven by a human being
more give permission that a
chair user with wheels to that sounds
as more worthy true these are the
changes that you should take today and
show it to your family tonight and
one also asks how many users
of chair with wheels there in this room
raise your hand all fell
they use a bicycle
Lift your hand off the bike and fast
keep up how many use chairs
office with wheels
opened we use the same we are all
Wheelchair users in equality
of conditions but we handle it
different there is the success in the maximum
It was worth how you understand the way I
I do things I am not circumstance with
the care this
so far peak is divine 5 and 30 of the
late viceroy station highway
North East coast are already there
ready that passes 90 people per minute
entering station 90 I waited two
minutes 180 we round in 200 nobody
helps to climb the incredible ramp no longer
after those two minutes I said here
you have to do the pedagogical reaction
came a man 28 30 years and says so
the sign helps me and they know what the
sir I have not killed me
I do not understand and he gave me the
beggar’s disability in addition to this
paint this tie voice to see me
give a push ramps of more than 30
meters of travel with gradients
above 14 percent acid
lactic eat me in the first 55
meters of travel kills me I can not
upload to just the question is this ramp
is accessible yes or no
yes yes it is accessible because because the
sir could have pushed me and we’re going
we go up and I get up and so
I can access the problem is that it is not
inclusive because it does not encourage my
autonomy
not everything accessible is inclusive but
everything inclusive is very well accessible
and I am not a circumstance I am a person
what change with a condition the
disability as established by
Convention on the rights of
people with disabilities are evidenced
when I have a motor deficiency
interacted with the barriers that it imposes
the environment and that restrict and prevent my
full participation my problem is not
my legs do not work as
Yours, that’s not my problem, my problem
it’s like circle how I move how
I can climb a ramp how can I
get off safely how can I
understand the information of a bus
who is telling me the stops and he
is silent what certain pod does not
let that snooze sleep and you do not
He knows that this person is blind
is your tool to express yourself
and we are not understanding the
what is or what that noise I’m not
daring and I’m going to raise a
mathematical scenario of autonomy the
autonomy equals the barriers that I
imposes the environment for my ability
squared exponentially
talking about let’s do the test the
table at 0 0 x 1
but by 20 x 30 by 40 by five if you
you assign zero to the barriers of
environment my disability
is not in me the disability is in the
environment that is restricting me
action but if you assign a value
different from zero to the barrier any
that is mild moderate severe and my
functional difficulty may be mild
moderate or severe n by how much it gives in
the square be my capacity to me
I have to push the triple step and I’ve
uploaded to the ramps believe me but it came
with the tongue out of the heart a thousand and
the agitated breathing you
imagine on a ramp of those at
ten thirty of the night before that
end the circulation of transmilenio
and I just like a mushroom waiting
that picks me up and I have to do it alone is
very complex good disability that is
disability really because I do not know I
I ‘m not going to get into this discussion there
other people more friends than me but I
I understand it so the prefix says
generally identify decrease
decrease in capacity I’ll the
I share in another way what I have
is a
fifth capacity look at the different
when you see me with diminished is very
different when one is different and what
is what really what is what
it really makes me different my worth and
we entered the concept the value according to
Spanish Royal Academy defines the
language is telling me that the value of
the price of something is the quality of a
person who is worth but I love the
question because he identifies a lot with
the concept that I am proposing
this is that transforming concept of
inclusive societies and at maximum
Allied the greater was the increase of
value that by external circumstances
surroundings attitudinal barriers
architectural physical urban
objectors and communicative receives something
regardless of any improvement
made in it terrific then at
start the concept of valid maximum
the world team of max and valid already
I mentioned a few Colombia has
hundreds billions of macs and several
of them they have to believe the maxi
bar is no longer free the maxival is already
build who is a maximum of one being
human maxi various is unique is singular
unrepeatable has no clones
he is firm he is cheerful he is creative and he is faithful
and fervently believes in himself and believes that
can make a change maximizes their
gifts and their talents and the nicest of
everything is that it follows the letter literally
manual of success over there the manual of
success says love yourself who loves what
others to your neighbor as yourself if you
you do not love yourself how you will love the
rest of people I do not understand it or
be your level of self-esteem should be in
a good level, not excessive, little by little
below the human max and valid is a
person who self-manages his project
life is a person that solidarity
resilient and tolerant is bold is it leaves
footprint but first and foremost is a person
happy
and finally a hurt maxi is a being
ordinary human doing things
extraordinary very well and now the
history and with this we are missing the
story starts with this lady she is
flame ofelia
and in my mom there I am small with some
six months to the psoe as months
this photo for me has a value value
It has a value worth incredible because
It was the last picture that I was taken

wrinkle the bucket yes or no and after
this time after this walk he gave
I am already with devices
orthopedic
also to see how they declared me
myopic then mine take heed for he
with you as good and equal for me not
it was important
I did not have that that thought
poor me there punishment of god I’m
in a regular school like any
another chinese
super recognized for several reasons by
being nerdy academically I was like
alright 108 incredible companions that
they believed in Ricardo and that finally in
his graduation rewarded him in addition
decorations in all my baccalaureate
but the ones I love the most are the two
last medals because that medal
means the best partner and that does not
gave it neither the rector nor the professors
I would give my classmates

recognize the European star in the heart
