Possibilities of diagnosis and development of partial functions in preschool children with hearing impairment
Háková, Kateřina ; Kotvová, Miroslava (advisor) ; Komorná, Marie (referee)
The thesis explores the possibilities of diagnosing and developing partial functions in preschool-aged children with hearing impairments considering the importance of these skills for acquiring basic school competencies such as reading, writing, and counting. Children with this type of impairment constitute a specific group that may face difficulties in obtaining information from the auditory environment, affecting the acquisition of necessary knowledge and skills. The aim of the thesis is to describe currently used diagnostic tools for working with preschool-aged children with hearing impairments. A secondary objective is to assess whether and to what extent any improvements in the test results can be observed during controlled activities compared to periods when such activities were not conducted. Realized six-month research included initial diagnostics of partial functions, subsequent controlled activities focused on their development, and final testing of selected children with hearing impairments. Based on evaluation and analysis of the obtained data, conclusions of the thesis provide recommendations for a diagnostic approach and support for the development of preschool-aged children with hearing impairments. KEYWORDS Hiskey-Nebraska Test of Learning Aptitude, partial function, child with...

Vinklátová, Veronika ; Valešová Malecová, Barbara (advisor) ; Komorná, Marie (referee)
The bachelor's thesis The use of bibliotherapy in the development of reading literacy of prelingually deaf children connects the field of bibliotherapy with deaf studies. The aim of the thesis is to draw up a proposal for a bibliotherapy program based on theoretical knowledge which aims at supporting the development of reading literacy of pupils who lost their hearing before learning spoken Czech and who consider the Czech sign language (which will also be the primary communication code of the programme) as their first language. The theoretical part summarizes and synthesizes Czech and foreign knowledge about the deaf (with an emphasis on their communication systems and the acquisition of Czech language), reading literacy, its meaning and development, and bibliotherapy and its techniques. The practical part of the thesis contains a proposal for a bibliotherapy program in which clients will work with different types of texts, such as comics, recipes, popular science texts and narration. Activities following the reading develop selected reading strategies and components of reading literacy.

Uřidilová, Tereza ; Komorná, Marie (advisor) ; Kotvová, Miroslava (referee)
This bachelor's thesis is dedicated to the development of language competencies for a group of children with a different mother tongue in a regular kindergarten. The theoretical part deals with terminological concepts and the specification of problems related to this issue based on professional publications. The empirical section is built on case studies of selected respondents. The main aim of the thesis was to measure information about participants' communication skills, gauge their progress, describe the educational process, and evaluate its efficiency. The research conducted in this specific kindergarten included three children with different first languages and contained two diagnostic tests with a three-month interval between them.
