Carla has Autism and is trying to learn how to be independent without her family. The issue is that Carla feels that her mom is smothering her and not allowing her to become independent. Carla attempted to live a normal life like others without a disability. Carla just needed her mother to trust in her and support her the way the rest of her family does. Carla did not feel that her mother looked her for the person that she was but the disability that she has. Carla's mother put the disability first when it came to Carla and not Carla the person. ]]> 2017-04-19 00:28:20 UTC https://padlet.com/tdp31095/6lx7n5f484ev/wish/166902509 tdp31095 https://padlet.com/tdp31095/6lx7n5f484ev/wish/166902558 Disability Models
There are two main models of disability. They are social and medical model.8 The social model highlights a considerable shift from acknowledging only innate disability factors to looking at a disabled individual's highly complex relationship to society as a whole (Schlesinger, 2014).  The social model means that one find the needs that best fits the person with the disability (Mackelprang & Salgiver, 2016). I noticed the social model came into play with Carla. Carla wanted to learn how to be independent and be own her own. She wanted to have her own apartment.
Disability Language
At the beginning of the semester as a class we learned how to use people first language.  Person-first language assumes that the characteristics that lead to the label of "disabled" are a part of the individual but do not define the person (Mackelprang & Salgiver, 2016). One must understand that when consulting with a person with a disability that language is more important than anything. This is because one is showing the client that you are putting the person before the disability itself and what the client needs and wants. She wanted to show her mother that she could be responsible but because her mother was using disability first language instead of using person first language her mom did not understand. An example was when Carla's mother said she was not responsible enough to be own her own because of her disability. Carla's mother held her disability higher than her daughter as a person.
Disability Culture    
Culture is a way of thinking, feeling and believing. It is also the common struggle among the group of persons with disabilities (Mackelprang & Salsgiver, 2016). The common stereotype is that persons of disabilities are not capable of doing for themselves let alone becoming independent for themselves as well. Carla was able to show her mother that she could become independent and so her for own. Carla getting an apartment own her own was a way to prove that to her mother.]]> 2017-04-19 00:29:00 UTC https://padlet.com/tdp31095/6lx7n5f484ev/wish/166902558 tdp31095 https://padlet.com/tdp31095/6lx7n5f484ev/wish/166902689 2017-04-19 00:30:35 UTC https://padlet.com/tdp31095/6lx7n5f484ev/wish/166902689 tdp31095 https://padlet.com/tdp31095/6lx7n5f484ev/wish/166902732 Within this case Carla runs away from home and when is caught by the police she gives them the address of her old school she attended as her home address. The ethical issue within the scenario is that Carla trusted her counselor more than she did her mother. She claimed that her mother did not know her. The fact that Carla's counselor knew her better that her mother did presents an issue within itself. Carla's mother had to consult Carla's counselor about what she though was best for Carla because she was not understanding of her daughter.
Question Present: Why does Carla's counselor know her better than her mother?
One would say that its a big issue that Carla's counselor knows her better than her mother. Another issue within the family is that Carla's mother does not understand her as a person because of the disability. Carla's counselor  and family with the exception of her mother tries to understand and support her decisions whereas her mother thinks she is incapable of making her own decisions as an adult with a disability. even though this seems to be an issue Carla's counselor did his job correctly. He held Carla high in regards to competence and self determination. Self-determination meaning that one makes the client clarify, identify, and aware of the goals that has been set in place (NASW, 2008). Carla's counselor help her mother understand Carla was capable of going to a public technical school. Also that Carla was competent and could also understand what that meant.]]> 2017-04-19 00:31:10 UTC https://padlet.com/tdp31095/6lx7n5f484ev/wish/166902732 tdp31095 https://padlet.com/tdp31095/6lx7n5f484ev/wish/166902882 Social Support Carla Received:

1. Carla's counselor speaking up for her and her capability of being independent. 
2. Carla's father and sister standing up to his wife and her mother about independent along with supporting and allowing her to making her own decisions. 
3.  Daniel letting Carla know that even though she is a person with a disability she can be just as responsible and independent as a person without a disability.
