Palme, Klára ; Šámalová, Kateřina (referee) ; Víšek, Petr (referee)
OVERVIEW This thesis entitled "Social Services in the Field of Housing of Adult Sufferers of Autism in the Czech Republic" examines the issue of availability of the social service of sheltered housing for adults with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in the individual regions of the Czech Republic. The result is a description of the available and planned services in the form of sheltered housing for people with ASD, as well as a schematic model for creation of new housing services of community type in our territory. Over the last twenty years, people in the Czech Republic have been growing better informed, and at the same time, the diagnosing of this disorder has become more exact. That has logically influenced the significant growth of this specific target group. Another goal of this thesis therefore is to determine the number of people with ASD in the age group of adolescents and young adults. Additional goal is to reflect on the state's preparedness in the area of fulfilling the rights of people with autism spectrum disorder to be provided available and appropriate housing.

Šámalová, Kateřina ; Tomeš, Igor (advisor) ; Hájková, Vanda (referee) ; Havlík, Radomír (referee)
Education is a tool towards upwards social mobility, and it is therefore essential to ensure equal access to it for all groups in society irrespective of their social standing or state of health. One of the many social groups faced with the risk of worsened access to higher levels of education in particular are the disabled, who, at various phases of their educational careers, face restrictions and barriers that substantially impede the achievement of higher levels of education. The central theme of the dissertation is the accessibility of university education for the disabled, that is, their chances of fully integrating into academic life and the university environment and successfully complete their studies there. The theoretical part of the thesis creates a broader informational framework for the chosen theme, presents varying concepts of key thematic constructs and places them within the relevant thematic framework - the sociology of education. The theoretical section also deals with the theory of educational inequalities and individual phases of the education process for the disabled. The quantitative study carried out primarily addressed the motivation of these students to begin studying at university, as well as the factors influencing their selection of field of study.

Possibilities of maintaining previous life style after spinal cord injury with permanent live-in personal assistance
Preclíková, Andrea ; Kodymová, Pavla (advisor) ; Šámalová, Kateřina (referee)
V práci se zaměřuji na zmapování situace v oblasti terénních služeb pro osoby upoutané na invalidní vozík následkem poranění míchy a případnou aplikaci prvků livein osobní asistence v České republice. Část odborné praxe jsem absolvovala jako osobní asistentka pro vozíčkáře ve Velké Británii. Pracovala jsem pro agenturu, jejímž hlavním cílem bylo poskytovat co nejkvalitnější asistenční služby orientované na přání a spokojenost klienta. Agentura se zaměřuje na specifický okruh klientů, kteří žijí doma aktivním způsobem života, nepotřebují denně odbornou lékařskou péči, ale při uskutečňování svých potřeb a zájmů potřebují asistenci. Vzhledem k úzké specifikaci cílové skupiny žijí klienti agentury po celé zemi. Proto agentura zajišťuje tzv. "live-in" osobní asistenci. Služba je konstruována tak, že asistent nebo asistentka po určitou dobu žije v klientově domácnosti a asistuje mu. Tento typ služby má mnoho výhod jak pro klienta, tak pro asistenta. Obsah a délka trvání sistence se určuje vzájemnou dohodou, takže klient může vykonávat i činnosti, které by při službě na směny dělat nemohl. Klient může přesně vyjádřit svoje potřeby a řídit svoji péči. Asistent se velmi rychle naučí, co klient potřebuje, takže klient nemusí vše neustále opakovat. Při směnném provozu se klient vyžadující 24hodinovou asistenci během...

Psychosocial adaptation to paralysis after spinal cord impairment
Šámalová, Kateřina ; Kodymová, Pavla (advisor) ; Černá, Petra (referee)
Coping with life crisis situations and adapting to them is a topic of great human interest and importance. Sustaining a spinal cord injury with the consequent lifelong paralysis may be considered to be one of the most serious life events due to its devastating and wide-ranging impact on people's lives. Spinal cord injury is a traumatic injury, which typically occurs suddenly and without any warning. Its consequences present an enormous physical, social and psychological trauma which the individual has to confront and come to terms with. The changes caused are life-long and affect every aspect of a person's life. Paralysis leads to wheelchair dependence for mobility. In addition, the individual with a spinal cord impairment may become dependent on others for help and assistance in order to be able to carry out most of the tasks of daily living. All the losses and changes caused by the injury have profound effects on both the spinal cord injured person's social roles and those of their loved ones. The individual's and his/her family's psychosocial adaptation to spinal cord injury, which is the main theme of this work, involves an intricate adjustment process. Stage coping theory, which dominates the current scientific literature concerning coping with life crisis situations, is not sufficient for a...
