The use of the concept of basal stimulation in special primary school
SIEBENSTICHOVÁ, Pavla
This bachelor thesis deals with the application of the Basic Stimulation concept at special primary schools, i.e. schools serving for children suffering from serious forms of mental disability, in combination with potential other disabilities. The basic stimulation concept was created by the German special pedagogue Prof. Andreas Fröhlich in the 1970s, for the education of pupils suffering from serious mental or combined disabilities, at special schools. It was applied in nursing by Prof. Christel Binstein in the 1980s. In this area it also used in the Czech Republic for the first time at the beginning of this century, thanks to PhDr. Karolína Friedlová.The objective of this bachelor thesis was to find out in which way basic stimulation may be used at special primary schools and how it can be incorporated into the education programme. In accordance with this objective, my thesis contains a definition of the basic terms, a brief historical outline of the development of basic stimulation and its theoretical foundations, and subsequently the particular techniques that the concept makes use of. The most essential passage is the theoretical definition of possibilities of applying the concept in the special pedagogical practice, particularly at special primary schools. This part is completed with three case studies that present the real application possibilities of the basic stimulation concept at three special primary schools in scope of the whole Czech Republic.

I used the tool of social worker "3P - Profile of the necessary support." The practical part was processed through qualitative research. I used the following methods and techniques of data collection: questionnaire survey, on-standardized telephone interviews, secondary data analysis. Research has found that the social service Support for independent living in the Czech Republic is unevenly distributed. This service is unavailable in some regions for certain target groups.

In the theoretical part of my bachelor degree thesis I focused on the history of physical handicaps in Bohemia, on health and physical disabilities, on education and rights of persons with physical disabilities, experience-based learning and its elements and on non-governmental non-for-profit organizations. In the practical part of my bachelor degree thesis I focused on the definition of the objectives, methods and results. The first objective of the practical part was to map the offer and realization of free-time activities for people with disabilities in the South Bohemian region. The second objective was to inquire selected non-governmental non-for-profit organizations whether they provide any experience-based activities. The method of the research was a quantitative survey using the method of inquiry with a questionnaire developed specifically for the purpose. The survey was performed in March and April 2011 in non-governmental non-for-profit organizations that deal with free-time activities of persons with physical disabilities in the South Bohemian region. The total number of non-governmental non-for-profit organizations we approached was 15 and the number willing to participate was 8. The results of the survey have shown that five out of the eight non-governmental non-for-profit organizations realize free-time activities for persons with physical disabilities, while one of them performs such activities only marginally and on a one-off basis, two organizations deal with a different kinds of disabilities and one deals with consulting. Free-time activities that focus on experience-based learning are realized by DC ADRA, the 1st center for people with disabilities South Bohemia, Family Center Rozárka and the Association Handicapped Child. The set objectives have been achieved. The discussion contains an analysis of the results and a comparison of the results with the theory. The conclusions summarize the entire bachelor degree thesis.

Importance and possibilities of a teacher assistant in school integration of children with disabilities.
ŠVEHLOVÁ, Petra
For my thesis I have chosen the theme of the importance and possibilities of a teacher assistant in school integration of children with disabilities. The research was conducted in the district of Český Krumlov. There are currently 20 basic schools and 26 kindergartens of which eight basic schools and two kindergartens have integrated pupils with disabilities. My two hypotheses are based on the fact that teacher assistants are the ones who, in my opinion, form an indispensable part of a pedagogic team, ensuring successful and beneficial integration of disabled children into the regular type of schools and school facilities and affecting the process of integration (hypothesis 1). Moreover, I believe that the competencies of two different professional groups, being teacher assistants and personal assistants, are often confused and neither professionals nor the lay public are able to clearly distinguish between their functions (hypothesis 2). In order to obtain information in respect of the set out issues, the method of interviews in the form of questionnaires was used. The questionnaire was designed for directors and teachers of basic schools and kindergartens integrating pupils with disabilities and also for parents of disabled children integrated in a regular school. The processed data are displayed in graphs and tables. Both the raised hypotheses have been confirmed. It was revealed that the respondents consider a teacher assistant as an indispensable element without which the school integration would not be successful. Some of them refer to their previous experience when no teacher assistant was available. The hypothesis which assumed confusion of competencies of an assistant teacher and a personal assistant was also clearly confirmed. The research revealed that some respondents suggested an interesting idea to unify these two assistants' functions into one that would fall under one resort. By this diploma thesis I would like to contribute to the explanation of ambiguities in the competences of a teacher assistant and a personal assistant and to promote the importance of a teacher assistant in school integration of children with disabilities.

The Causes of Unsuccessful Integration of Primary School Children with Disabilities into Elementary School
JANDOVÁ, Petra
The aim of the bachelor thesis is to find out the causes of unsuccessful integration of disabled young school age children to primary schools. The theoretical part includes a brief outline of integration history in the CR and definitions of basic terms. It also deals with the issue of school integration, including the factors affecting its success rate. The practical part is aimed at finding the causes of unsuccessful integration in two particular cases of pupils with Asperger syndrome diagnosis, which is characterized by lower adaptability to social environment sometimes even leading to acts of aggressiveness. These subsequently lead to exclusion of the pupils from the class where teaching continues in individual form. These pupils were selected upon information from the Education, Youth and Sport Department of the Regional Office of the South Bohemia Region and from the Special Pedagogy Centre in České Budějovice. With regard to the target group size, particularity of the issue and the effort to gain as much colourful picture as possible qualitative research, namely design of case studies, was applied to reach the goal. Data collection was performed by means of content analysis of documents and semi structured interviews with the parties involved of the integration process ? the pupils being integrated and their parents, headmasters, teachers, assistant teachers and classmates. The research lead to the finding that unwillingness of one of the involved parties, i.e. a headmaster or the parents of the child being integrated to cooperate was the main cause of unsuccessful integration process in both the cases.

Unemployment as a psychosocial problem for persons with a reduced working ability
HRKALOVÁ, Kristýna
At present, the concept of the reduced working ability has not been already used due to a change of the Employment Act No. 435/2004 Coll. A new concept is being introduced ? a person with disabilities, which include persons receiving a disability pension and persons who are handicapped. This thesis is devoted to the concept of the unemployment, its definition and kinds. The other chapter defines a target group of people presented in the title of the thesis. The following part speaks about possibilities to use the protected labour market, but as well as offers of various organizations in the common labour market. Everything is related to people who have some medical problem and it is more difficult for them to seek a suitable job. It is important to note, that the unemployment is associated with various problems. They are both psychic and social. Therefore there is a part about the importance of the work for a man included in the thesis, followed by chapters on possible responses to a job loss and health risks associated with this life event. An aim of the practical part is a comparison of an impact of the psychosocial effects of the unemployment at intact individuals with individuals with disabilities. A method of a qualitative research was used to achieve this goal, a form of a depth semi-structured interview. A crucial age for a choice of respondents was between 20 - 45 years and their registration at Labour Office for at least six months. The research showed that the observed people in my group did not differ significantly in the psychosocial effect of the unemployment. It is because their psyche has been influenced by a good family background, friends and an adequately spent leisure time.
