Early care of Children With Autism Spectrum Disorders
ŠINDELKOVÁ, Pavla
The number of children with or suspected of having an autism spectrum disorder has been increasing in recent years. Currently, the incidence of this disease in the population is estimated to be up to 1.7%. Early diagnosis is of great importance for the life of children with an autism spectrum disorder, enabling the introduction of appropriate interventions and methods at an early age of the child, which help the child to exercise his abilities and improve skills in problematic areas of development. Family care, cooperation of parents with professionals from various fields, or their mutual connection positively affects the therapeutic and educational process.

Developing communication skills for children with autism disorder
VYHNÁNKOVÁ, Aneta
This bachelor thesis focuses on the issue of children with autism spectrum disorder (hereafter referred to as PAS) in relation to the development of communication skills of preschool-aged children. The thesis is divided into two parts, theoretical and empirical. The first chapter of the theoretical part aims to clarify the issue of PAS, defining its theoretical framework, manifestations, particularly the triad of symptoms, and describing its aetiology. Then it focuses on its division according to functionality and on the individual subdivisions. The second chapter focuses on the clarification of communication in children with PAS, pointing out the differences between intact children and children with PAS. The third chapter further explores the possibilities of developing communication skills among children with PAS, with an emphasis on the approach of applied behavioural analysis, structured learning and forms of alternative and augmentative communication. The practical part focuses on answering the main research objective, which is to realise what type of approach the selected kindergarten established under Section 16, paragraph 9 of the Education Act and its employees take towards children with PAS in terms of communication skills, tools or methods. The observation method, document analysis and semi-structured interviews were used to answer the research objective. As a result of the research, it is possible to find out how the selected kindergarten approaches the development of communication skills for children with PAS, which methods and tools are used in practice in the development of communication skills for children with PAS in the selected kindergarten, and which ones have proved to be the most effective for the pedagogic workers.

SLOBODA, Tereza
This bachelor´s thesis deals with the subject of using ABA therapy for children diagnosed with autistic spectrum disorder. I am interested in this type of therapy. ABA is a scientific methodology in which concrete therapeutic methods are used within interventions therefore I use the ABA therapy connection in my work. Bacherlor´s thesis is divided into a theoretical and a practical part. Theoretical part focuses on autistic spectrum disorders, aetiology, most affected areas, introducing ABA and common methods and current legislation, possibility of ABA studies in the Czech Republic. Practical part deals with a case study of a boy from birth to seven years. After his autism diagnosis he has begun ABA therapy and today he is attending the only special elementary and nursery school using the ABA methods. Although opinions on ABA differ I would like to show how the ABA strategies can be used in special schools. This method could be useful for children who are resistant to other forms of therapy. The potentiality of ABA method could improve living standards of the client and his surroundings because autism has enormous impact on social and family ties. The aim of the thesis is to show the progress in ABA therapy and the possibility of using ABA therapy as one of the methods of educating children with ASD or combined disorders and to develop their skills and abilities in spite of their handicap.
