Mrázková, Jana ; Angelovská, Olga (advisor) ; Dobiášová, Karolína (referee)
The need for all-day care for the elderly will be increasing, taking into consideration the future demographic development of the population.

Particularly alarming are the vaguely defined structure of users of residential services and the vague definition of an entitled senior...

Potužníková, Michaela ; Kotrusová, Miriam (advisor) ; Klusáček, Jan (referee)
Substitutional child care is an indispensable part of system of social and legal protection of children. Until 1989, institutional care was preferred, while after the fall of communist government it had been gradually replaced by substitutional family care, because of the inappropriateness of institutional care to fully compensate for family environment. Deinstitutionalization means transforming the system of placing children to alternative care and it is understood as transition from institutional care to types of substitutional family care, eventually to more individual type of care with more family character. An amendment to the Social and Legal Children Protection Act, which aimed at transforming the system of substitutional care towards more individual work with endangered children, came into force in 2013. The amendment restored the institute of temporary foster care and modified the institute of long-term foster care.

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.
