Education of Adults with health disablement
HODOUŠOVÁ, Jana
The subject matter of these bachelor graduation theses is the education of handicapped adults. I have focused the theoretical part on the explanation of some basic concepts such as lifelong learning and study, andragogy, special pedagogy (in the sense of particular types of afflictions and their specifics in relation to education). I have dedicated the applied part of these theses to the description of the target of the theses, the description of research methods, and the description of my results. These are the targets of my research: 1. to learn the further training possibilities for handicapped adults; 2. to learn the evaluation of these further training possibilities by handicapped adults themselves. I have chosen the qualitative type of research, the method of questioning and the technique of the dialogue for the research implementation of my theses. The research took place in non-profit-making organizations which associate handicapped people, or which provide some services for them, in the period from February 2009 to April 2009. For selection of establishments I used the Guidebook Throught Social Services of the City of České Budějovice 2009, this document can be used by handicapped people, if they look for a service. I approached 11 organizations altogether; two of them refused to participate in my research. In research group no 1 there were 35 handicapped people, from 15 to 64 years old. In research group no 2 there were 9 employees of those organizations which provide services for handicapped people in the region of České Budějovice. Research results demonstrate that respondents do not have proper view of further training possibilities for handicapped adults. Most of them were not able to answer my question whether their further training possibilities are sufficient, or not. Other results of my research demonstrate that employees of non-profit-making organizations situated in České Budějovice know about at least one establishment which is engaged in further training of handicapped people. Only one respondent was ignorant. These bachelor graduation theses can be used by educational institutions which offer further training for handicapped people, and by non-profit-making organizations which apply themselves to those people. Furthermore, these theses can be used by The Bureau of Labour in České Budějovice as well.

Realization of People with Mental Retardation in the Labour Market
PITKOVÁ, Zuzana
My bachelor thesis addresses the problem of finding a working place for mentally handicapped people at the job market in our country. People with a mental handicap represent one of the largest groups among the handicapped. Integration of an individual into the working process not only influences his economic security and social status, but it also has a positive impact on the personal development. However, at our job market, there is a serious lack of adequate working places for people with a mental handicap. This thesis is divided into theoretical and practical parts. The theoretical part describes mental retardation, causes of its development, diagnostics, classification, combination with other kinds of handicaps, special characteristics and needs of these people. Further, it focuses on education and upbringing of the mentally handicapped and on the work issues (importance of work, unemployment, work possibilities for people with a mental handicap, benefits and duties of the employer and a brief characterization of an employee with a mental handicap). In the practical part, I set the goal of hypotheses of my work. The goal of the thesis is to asses the attitude and opinion of employers regarding employment of the mentally handicapped and further if these people are interested in finding work at the job market and if there is a sufficient offer of working positions for them in the South Moravian region. I set two hypotheses. The first hypothesis claims that most of the employers show only a little interest in employing people with a mental handicap. The second hypothesis assumes that it is problematic for the mentally handicap to find work at the labour market. The method I used to collect data was quantitative research. More specifically, I employed the inquiry method {--} the technique of written inquiry with employers in various companies and the technique of standardized questioning with people with a mental handicap. This work should serve as a source of information for wide public and the mentally handicapped in the South Bohemian region (mediate information on the possibilities of finding work for the mentally handicapped people).

Employment of handicapped persons {--} an evaluation of effectiveness of benefits provided by the Labour Office in České Budějovice, Czechia
DVOŘÁKOVÁ, Lenka
International agreements, Czech constitutional law and labour code ensure an equal treatment in a job, equal chances and the right to have satisfactory work conditions. Furthermore it is stipulated that handicapped persons can claim a higher level of health protection when working, special work conditions, special protection in work relations and assistance in career preparation in order to prevent discrimination. Even though the society provides higher protection to handicapped people, problems with their employment are still deepening. The objective of the present diploma thesis was to give an insight in this situation. The main goal of this thesis was to determine the effectiveness of benefits provided by the Labour Office in České Budějovice. A sub-goal was to ascertain employers{\crq} comments on the benefits which are provided by the Labour Office in České Budějovice. The supposed hypothesis to the main goal reads: ``The higher the amount of benefits, the smaller the number of handicapped job seekers recorded with the Labour Office. And thus benefits are considered effective.{\crq}q The supposed hypothesis to the sub-goal is: ``Employers{\crq} comments are related to the insufficient amount of the benefits to support employment of handicapped people.{\crq}q In order to achieve the main goal in the research, the author applied analysis of documents, the quantitative technique, secondary analysis of data, making use of statistics from 2004 to the end of 2008 provided by the Labour Office in České Budějovice. In order to achieve the sub-goal, the author applied one of questioning methods {--} the quantitative technique of a questionnaire, which was given to an employer who employs more than 50 % handicapped people and who does his business in the district of České Budějovice. The supposed hypothesis to the main goal has not been confirmed by the research. The research has shown an increasing amount of benefits paid to employers and at the same time an increasing number of handicapped job seekers recorded with the Labour Office. The supposed hypothesis to the sub-goal has not been confirmed either.

Work rehabilitation and its security provided by labour offices in the Ústecký region
JEŽKOVÁ, Jana
Working rehabilitation is the topic of my diploma thesis. Finding out the ways of securing working rehabilitation by the employment offices in the region of Ústí nad Labem on the basis of secondary sources and qualitative talks is the aim of this diploma thesis. So far in the Czech Republic hasn´t been the system providing comprehensive solution of the health handicapped employment. The Act Employment n.435/2004, Code introduces the institute of working rehabilitation in order to provide the access and comeback to the labour market for the health handicapped. Supporting the policy which enable to employ these handicapped people is the the next objective of this institute. The employment offices as the state administration bodies provide the employment facilities in a given region, they are independent subjects, territorially organized in districts and their legislative duties contain working rehabilitation securing. Research respondents were the particular employment offices in the region of Ústí nad Labem personnel who are interested in working rehabilitation and really practise it. The region of ústí nad Labem belongs to the Czech Republic area maintaining the primacy in the field of the unemployment. The unemployment as a result of labour market functioning is one of the contemporary world problems. Labour market is very dynamic phenomenon which reacts to technological development and economic situation. Nowadayas with the essential decrease in working positions there is a decrease in free working positions reserved for the handicapped and thus the participation of the handiccaped in the total number of job applicants has been steadily increased. The integration of these handiccaped to the labour market is affected by lots of factors among others by insuficcient awareness of their needs and weak points of the contemporary functioning from the legistation and practise view point. Creating procedures which enable to make provision for needs and skills of working rehabilitation participants and thereby increasing their participation at labour market was the intention of this diploma thesis. The targets were fulfilled so there were suggested three variants which show various possibilities of the initiation of working rehabilitation process and enable the effective usage of their particular forms. The diploma thesis results can be used either by the employment offices personnel throughout the Czech Republic or by the specialized experts who are interested in the problem of working rehabilitation.

Social aspects following amputation of limbs of children and adults
HANZLÍKOVÁ, Soňa
The aim of my extended essay is to evaluate some social aspects after amputations of extremities with children and adults. The work is divided into several parts. In the first theoretical part, the attention is paid to a history of amputations and some indications for an extremity amputation. At the same time, the summary of amputation lines of upper and lower extremities is set up here as well. In this part, there is a list of some indications leading to an amputation of an extremity, too. Besides, here is some theoretical imformation on the comprehensive rehabilitation, especially on therapeutic, social and working one. Some data obtained by evaluating my own research are presented in the practical part of this extended essay. The research was carried out with a quantitative questionnaire method. After the evaluation, all three determined hypotheses were confirmed. Hypothesis No. 1: I suppose the children and adolescents do not feel being seen at a disadvantage after the amputation of an extremity, which is brought by this treatment. Hypothesis No. 2: Women come to terms with the amputation of an extremity psychically worse than men do. Hypothesis No. 3: I suppose the amputation of an upper extremity is a greater handicap than a loss of a lower one, in consideration of one's asserting at the labour market. The practical evaluation contains all the comparisons of the research results with some specialized literature, too. The main contribution of my extended essay is the summarization of the certain points at issue and the facilitation of an easier orientation in a social situation after the amputation of an extremity.

Specificity of work in sheltered workshops and possibilities of their services in the Czech republic and USA.
JINDROVÁ, Zdeňka
Taking care of people with disabilities is dated back to history. Nowadays there are many ways how to take care, socialize and integrate people with special needs. For people with some handicap there are number of fences at the same time, which are impossible to break through without help of the other people. We can also find out that people with disabilities are exposed to some kinds of discrimination. The most severe fence for those people is that they have got nearly closed access to the labour market. People with disabilities belong in disadvantaged groups at the labour market and they are suffering from long-term unemployment. Sheltered workshops are one way how to integrate those people. People with health problems and with changed working ability work there. Working in the sheltered workshops isn{\crq}t only earning money. It is also a place where especially the disabled people can become members of society and can gain new experience. I tried to find out similarities and differences in running of chosen sheltered workshops. Based on my stay in Massachusetts, USA I chose to concentrate on describing non-government, non-profit organization called Road to Responsibility, Inc. In the Czech Republic I chose for the same purpose Domov sv. Anežky, o.p.s. in Týn nad Vltavou. In theoretical part of thesis, I concentrate on the problems of disability. I am describing history of care of people with disabilities, the types of disability, socialization and last, but not least jobs opportunities and self{--}fulfillment of peoplewith disabilities. The practical section of thesis is divided into two parts. In part one I am describing running of the chosen companies and their sheltered workshops and in part two I am graphically displaying found information. I chose to do research two different ways. The first one was secondary data analysis and content analysis. I also collected information from interviews, in which I talked to employees and managers of the workshops. Before I started collecting data I chose what information I want to find out, what documents I want to study so I will get the result I wanted {--} to find out the similarities and differences of the chosen workshops in USA and in Czech Republic. The information were e.g. rights and obligations of the clients, the founders of those companies, what do they offer, personal security, qualifications of employees, rates of pay for people with disabilities and last but not least what types of workshops each organization runs. Based on the information I collected, I realized, that certain differences between Road to Responsibility and Domov sv. Anežky exists. The main difference is different rates of pay for people with disability for their work. Another difference is how the rights of clients are exercise. I can declare that both my hypothesis were correct. I am convinced, that my work points out the similarities and differences, which exist in sheltered workshops in the Czech Republic and USA. But of course it is not the whole view of how the community works.
