Social skill- Carla utilizes social skills throughout the
movie. She is constantly communicating with other characters and understanding
what they are saying. When Clara and
Danny check to see if they passed their class, Carla can read that Danny is
upset when he gets upset and starts crying because he didn’t pass. This
particular example meets the definition of social skills because she was able
to read that Danny wasn’t happy like she was and she was able to react in an
appropriate way.
Practical skill- An example of when Carla uses practical
skills is when she moves into her own apartment. Danny also uses practical
skills when he uses transportation through the bus system so he can go to work.
Both of these are examples of practical skills because they’re skills a person
needs for everyday life. The responsibilities Carla needs for living independently
are cooking and cleaning. Danny is responsible to use the bus system to be able
to go to work.
Conceptual skill- Throughout the movie, Carla was able to
understand abstract ideas which shows her use of conceptual skills because she
was able to comprehend to them using what she already knew and applying it to
the situation.
I was surprised how good her social skills were, usually when you think about people with disabilities, you don't think of them having their own apartment and getting married.
