SOCIAL POLITICAL ARRANGAMENTS OF STATE AND THEIR PROFITS IN FAMILIES WITH MENTALLY DISABLED CHILD
HNISOVÁ, Lenka
There were many changes in the Czech social system during last years. Many possibilities for people with disabilities appeared in a state and a non-profit sector - more social benefits and social service. The only problem is in their chaotic arrangement. My thesis is concretely focused on potentialities of families with mentally disabled children. In my theoretical part I therefore describe not only mental illnesses and its stages but also a family of a disabled child and parental education. Hereafter I attend to education and socialization of individuals with a mental disability. The second part of theory targets three social principles of the social system {--} the social insurance, state social support and social welfare/care. At the end of this part I mention the significance of non profit organizations for people affected by mental disabilities. Following theoretical is the practical part which aims (and that is my work{\crq}s objective also) to determine the knowledge of parents about our social benefit schemes and support. Specifically this means to chart the current state of affairs {--} informedness functioning. Based upon these results then create an outline (benefits, services) which will help the parents to distinguish more efficiently within all services offered. The survey was carried out by questionnaires. These were intended for parents of mentally disabled children and aimed at their knowledge. The correspondents {--} parents {--} were separated into groups in accordance with their educational background. It emerged from my results that parents with elementary education are feeling well informed whilst parent with higher education do not consider themselves informed although in accordance with their answers they have a better insight into their child{\crq}s options. Generally the majority of the polled (77%) is not feeling informed. The problem is inadequate information system. Respondents also mentioned what they are lacking in most and what they would consider as being most helpful. The most common answers concerned missing comprehensive review, informative brochures and sufficiently informed staff, which I did contemplate. Based upon these results I have conceived an overview of primary options specifically designed for families with mentally disabled children. I may thus claim that both my hypothesis have been confirmed. I behold the anticipated development of my work in merging information about assigned issues with creating a review of primary options for families with a mentally disabled child. I do hope that this work will leastwise improve their awareness.

Transition programme
FLEISCHHANSOVÁ, Pavla
The author focused her thesis on the transition from school to work in people with mental disabilities. The Current Status section provides the basic terminology definition of mental disability. The Quantitative Evaluation section captures the division and characteristics of individual degrees of mental disability. These are followed by a description of individual signs and causes of mental disability. To achieve a theoretical balance of the thesis, abilities of people with mental disabilities are assessed also in terms of a qualitative personality structure. The thesis describes specific characteristics of mental functions: perception, memory, thinking, attention, emotivity, and volitive traits. The thesis mentions documents affecting the rights of people with mental disabilities and it emphasises the right to education and employment. Opportunities for upbringing and education of persons with mental disabilities are monitored by their age and within the Czech educational system. Job opportunities for young people with mental disabilities are governed by the Employment Act and specific social programs also have their impacts; they are, for example, supported employment and transition programme, which provide support to people with mental disabilities in fulfilling their right to employment and integration into the mainstream society. The objective of the thesis is to describe the method of the transition programme and the definition of the supporting factors affecting the degree of inclusion in the occupational environment. To answer the set research questions, the author chose a qualitative research. The qualitative research is conducted through a case study. The author chose the following methods of data collection: participant observation, document analysis, and problem-focused interview, using instructions, with the parents of young mentally disabled people who have used or still use the transition programme service. The course of the programme and the fulfilment of the set objectives are influenced by the user?s personality, his or her natural social environment, schools and teachers, employers and workplace environment, and the consultant?s personality and the quality of their work with the user. The author perceives the transition programme as a specific programme, defined by legislation, of social rehabilitation service, which has its established place in an open civil society.

KOHOUTOVÁ, Eva
Currently, there is a dramatic loss of exercise. It is a social matter let the intact, but also disabled children to obtain wide access to sport activities. The aim of this thesis is to identify opportunities for controled leisure physical activities in children with mental, visual and DEF disability aged 8-15 years in Central and South Bohemia Region. These methods were used: content analysis, questioning method, comparative method and statistical data analysis. It was found that there are more children with disability in the Central Bohemia Region than in South Bohemia Region. There are better conditions for children with visual disability in Central Bohemia Region, which would be expected, given the larger population and better access to Prague. Surprisingly, in schools are better conditions in South Bohemia Region. It can be concluded that the situation for children with mentioned disability is not optimal. The training for instructors, coaches and parents is recommended in issue of controled leisure physical activities that could take place in university faculties.
