Visual impairments limit people, in particular, in their access to information and self-reliant mobility. Hippotherapy and horse riding may positively contribute to development of skills that compensate the above described limits, thus improving their personal development and quality of life. The purpose of the bachelor thesis is to carry out qualitative analysis based on existing knowledge in the design of a case study describing the importance and specifics of execution of hippotherapy and horse riding with regard to visually impaired people. In order to achieve the formulated objective, data were collected by means of analysis of documents, in-depth interviews and observations. The way of sampling was intended in line with the method chosen. The sample was represented by a visually impaired person engaged in para-equestrianism, namely para-equestrian dressage at international level. A partial objective, formulated in line with the main objective, is to compile an overview of recommended measures relating to safe execution of hippotherapy or horse riding by people with visual impairment. The qualitative research indicated that hippotherapy and horse riding is of particular importance to visually impaired people in the area of self-reliant mobility and socialization process, thus positively influencing the individual's overall development and psyche.

PECHEROVÁ, Kateřina
The aim of the bachelor thesis is to present the current state of usage of ICT technologies in the spatial orientation of people with visual disability in the theoretical level and on this basis to perform a qualitative survey focused on the advantage of the use of current applications for minimizing the limits in the area of independent movement of individuals with visual disability. In addition, the thesis focuses on the current offer of compensatory aids with ICT technology in the context of reducing the limits of independent movement of people with visual impairment and their contribution to their quality of life. The thesis is divided into the theoretical and practical part. Theoretical part presents the current offer of ICT-based compensatory aids within the spatial orientation and independent movement of persons with visual impairment. In the practical part, the work is focused on mobile phone applications, which help people with visual impairment for better orientation and movements in space. The research was conducted through an structured, semi-structured interview technique. The interview was performed with two men who have visual impairment, and these applications helped them with their spatial orientation and individual movement. A qualitative survey suggests that mobile phone applications for the visually impaired people focusing on orientation and movement in space are very useful and can help them very well to improve their quality of life.
