Krejčová, Ivana ; Hájková, Vanda (advisor) ; Mlčková, Marie (referee)
The thesis entitled "Stimulation of people with physical and multiple disabilities - using the TheraSuit Method" focuses on the using of different stimulation methods in the care of people with physical and multiple disabilities and is aimed in particular mentioned method TheraSuit and its modifications (Klim-Therapy) whose main element is a special support suit. In the Czech Republic, this method has been used for relatively short time. It is a little widespread, especially due to financial demands. The clients have to pay the therapy almost themselves. Therefore, the thesis aims to gather available information about the method using special support suit. Another objective is to obtain a quantitative overview of the research on the awareness and attitudes of adult clients of selected institutions for people with physical and multiple disabilities, their parents of children with physical and multiple disabilities and staff who work with these people, to discuss methods and new methods of stimulation at all. The thesis also focuses on other stimulation methods used in selected institutions providing services to peoples with physical and multiple disabilities.

Usage of alternative and augmentative systems of communication within logopedic intervention of individuals with combined disabilities
Saláková, Kateřina ; Klenková, Jiřina (referee)
The dissertation provides a detailed analysis of logopedic intervention. It focuses on systems of alternative and augmentative communication of individuals with special learning and educational needs (combined disability) in different age (19,12, 8 years). Theoretical part presents firstly general characteristics of communicational skills as a part of communication process and their possible violation with regards to respondent's combined disabilities and secondly researcher's own logopedic intervention. The work shows a shift within theoretical approaches from sound aspects of speech to its content. Combined disability is described from the perspective of frequent combination of celebral palsy and mental disorder. Symptomatology and diagnosis are also included. Last chapter profiles individual systems of alternative and augmentative communication as well as criteria used in the process of their choice. Own research focuses on detailed overview of logopedic intervention within each developmental stage of the respondents. Following evaluation of individual therapeutic approaches indicates conclusions of unsystematic and discoordinated logopedic intervention which was put into practise at the age of four years. Simultaneous support of all elements i.e. primary functions, speech and communication is...

One of these chapters is focused on cerebral palsy - the most frequently type of handicap that can be accompanied eye disorder. The space in this work is devoted to the early care focused on the child with some visual and combined handicap. The practical part of the work consists of two case studies, the first one about the boy with visual and combined disability, and the other one about the boy with the purely visual handicap. In conclusion, both these studies are compared from the using methods point of view and from the providing services in the early care. In the annex, there are photographs of the equipment, which are used to stimulate sense of sight and visual training. Key words: Children development/evolution, visual handicap/disability, cerebral palsy, early care, investigation/examination of visual functions, eye stimulation, visual training
