BUŘIČOVÁ, Lenka
The bachelor thesis deals with healthy siblings in families with a child with autistic spectrum disorder. The aim of this work was to find out and describe how autistic spectrum disorder affects the life of a healthy sibling. Qualitative research was used to fulfill the above stated goal. In accordance with the chosen strategy, the research sample was selected by the communication snowball method. The research sample are parents of children with autism spectrum disorders and healthy siblings. Data were obtained by interrogation of uncontrolled (depth) interview and evaluated using cluster method. The results of the interview with parents show that the siblings of children with ASD are limited by their siblings and are much more demanding than siblings with disabilities, in the social (considerate, tolerant and autonomous) and in education when they expect excellent learning outcomes and also that healthy siblings will continue to develop in the area of interest. The results from the interview with healthy siblings show that my siblings are aware of their limitations and their position in the family. The siblings of a child with an autism spectrum disorder are also aware that they have more insight and have gained greater understanding for other individuals with disabilities thanks their experience with sibling with autism spectrum disorder. The expected benefit for practice is to draw attention to this topic to other parents and professionals who forget to work with siblings with autism spectrum disorders.

Respiratory Care for Individuals Who Take Care of Family Members With Disabilities in the Region.
SUCHANOVÁ, Michaela
Handicap is not a stressful situation for the affected individual only, but also for the people around providing service. The bachelor thesis focuses on the topic of respite care for individuals taking care of their handicapped family in a given region. The objective of this thesis is to describe the availability of respite services in the Sedlčany region, and to find out about specific experience of families who use respite care in the Stéblo facility in Borotice. The theoretical part relies on the study of expert literature related to the given topic. It focuses mainly on respite care and its objective, history, activity and different forms. The following chapter describes types of handicap and its impact on mental severity of the family taking care of a handicapped member. To process the practical part of the bachelor thesis I chose the qualitative research strategy and semi-structured interview methodology. The research file consisted of a social worker from the Stéblo non-profit organization, and families making use of respite care within the facility. The social-worker interview consisted of 10 basic questions, and the family interview consisted of 8 questions and some follow-up questions as needed. The research result proved that families were generally very happy with the respite care in the facility. Mainly they praised the qualified staff, on the other hand they complained about the service waiting time. Service availability at the moment is sufficient. Nevertheless, they have agreed that it is mainly due to the help of other family members. If they could use respite care more often, they would so they had more free time to themselves. Within the facility, they have a choice of field or residential form of respite care. The bachelor thesis may serve as a source of information for families with handicapped members who might be interested in making use of this service in Sedlčany region, or for individuals acting in this area of social work.

A sibling' s life with a child who has one of a type of an autismus
MICHALCOVÁ, Šárka
The aim of this bachelor's thesis is to analyse and describe the social aspects of the sibling of a child with an autism spectrum disorder (further referred as ASD). It describes how the implementation of care for a child with ASD through social services acts on a healthy sibling or whether he/she is involved in care in some way. Furthermore, this thesis deals with the financial side of the family. To what extent does a child with a disability, specifically a child with an ASD, influence a healthy sibling within the redistribution of funds. The qualitative research used techniques - semi-structured interview and focus group. The semi-structured interview is carried out with healthy siblings of children with ASD and their mothers took part in the focus group. Thanks to these techniques it was possible to conclude that a healthy sibling is not only neglected by society but also by parents. They unconsciously put pressure on their healthy children about the autonomy and future care of their sibling with ASD. The practical part presents the results in the form of open coding and categorization. The results show that siblings of children with ASD are heavily influenced and restricted. Parents put great emphasis on making everything fit for their children with disabilities and making their healthy children as independent as possible. From the results of interviews with healthy siblings, they feel like their "half parents" towards their siblings with ASD and they are aware of their concession in all respects.

The role of older siblings and their influence on development of younger siblings
Chytrý, Václav ; Gillernová, Ilona (advisor) ; Šturma, Jaroslav (referee)
When analyzing the development of children and adolescents, the most attention is usually paid to parents. Other older members of a family, however, have an important role, too. The crucial, yet often neglected person (at least in Czech literature), impacting the development of an individual, is his or her older sibling. The subject of the theoretical part of this thesis is to clarify the specifics of a sibling relationship as well as to describe the role and the sphere of influence of the older sibling considering all the factors that come into the relationship between two siblings. The empirical part consists of the description of the research project and the results of the research, whose aim is to discover the specifics of a sibling relationship with a particular focus on the upbringing styles of the older sibling; to find differences between the upbringing methods of parents and the upbringing methods of older siblings; and to find out to what extent the gender and the age difference between siblings determines their mutual relationship. Keywords: siblings, sibling relationships, the role of a sibling, upbringing, methods of upbringing
