Dance as a means of integration adults with intellectual disability
KRAUMANNOVÁ, Eva
The goal of the bachelor thesis called Dance as a means of integration adults with intellectual disability was to create, implement and evaluate a dance course focused on the development of social competences in adults with intellectual disability. The thesis deals with adults with intellectual disability and with a leisure activity focused on dancing. There is some space for the development of social competences in adults´ leisure time. In response to the current situation of leisure activities proposition for adults with intellectual disability. I found it beneficial to found a dance group of adults with intellectual disability, and at the same time a group of individuals intact in places unfamiliar to them. Based on an activity which may be implemented amusingly it is possible to develop an individual´s personality as well as his or her social competences, which become a presumption of a successful integration, universally. The bachelor thesis consists of four chapters.The first chapter defines the term ´intellectual disability´. Further on the attention is paid to the characteristics of the target group, i.e. adults suffering from a slight and medium mental retardation. Further on, the disability´s impact onto the human psyche as well as social area is described. In the second chapter the term ´dance´is defined and then the description of its usefulness within the leisure, artistic and therapeutic areas is given. In the third chapter the presumptions for a successful integration are described. In the conclusion of the theoretical part there is an interconnection made between the target group and the activity for developing social competences. The theoretical part of the bachelor thesis is continued with a practical part, the fourth chapter. It is a programme of a six-month course which I have set together based on the analysis of expert literature and my experience gained during the leadership of dance lessons and working with adults with intellectual disability. The programme will include work methods and an evaluation of partial activities. The six-month course was held in the school year of 2015/2016 and 6 intellectually disabled adults took part in it. Students of the University of South Bohemia joined the course. Partial goals were set for individual dance lessons and the activities were set so that they would develop social competences in participants non-violently and in the greatest extent possible. The course was implemented in the IN Civic Association facilities. To evaluate the activity and find out the progress within the area of the participants´ social competences, several development fields have been set. Several chosen social competences were divided into evaluation scales. The participants were evaluated at the beginning of the course and then again, six months later. The evaluation method chosen was my own observation. I focused on the evaluation of my own working, on group evaluation and the evaluation of each individual. Evaluation was also done on the part of each course participant, too. Dance lessons and activities connected have proven to be a suitable means for developing social competences in intellectually disabled adults. In five participants the values have risen in 5 10 out of 17 competences observed. A recourse occured in a participant who was going through a difficult life situation during the last two months of the course. Values have risen dramatically and in all participants in the area of group cooperation. Five participants made a progress in establishing and keeping eye contact and in starting a conversation. One participant has made a progress in the area of group performance, another one has made a progress in the area of independence and another one started to call the other participants by their names, as opposed to the beginning of the course. In general, the members of the group became more self-confident.

KASPŘÍKOVÁ, Magdalena
Social workers are trying to integrate all of their clients to the mainstream society by using sheltered housing and sheltered employment for several years. Social workers use the special diagnostics or their own experience. The problem is that there is not any tool which would be able to define the client's abilities to work with household appliance. The phenomenon of abilities of persons with mental retardation to use the common household appliance placed in sheltered houses or in sheltered workshops has not been researched enough. The aim of the thesis was get the data for comparison of abilities of clients to use common household appliances as a fridge, microwave oven, cooker, boiling kettle, washing machine, telephone and computer. Next objective was to design simple methodical tool (test) for evaluation of the level of abilities of clients (persons with mental retardation in sanitary facilities) to use the common household appliance. There was used method of observation of clients during the author?s work at psychiatry and observation of behavior and activity of employee of sanitary facilities with their clients during the faculty training. Also, there were made interviews with social workers and with an assistant of social care who take care about clients. There was researched what household appliance is used in sanitary facilities by preliminary questions. Then the test was designed according to the given answers. The questions for the employee of sanitary facilities were standardized and objective. Then these answers were analyzed. The result from interviews is those employees do not care about the clients abilities to use household appliance. On the other hand, the employee considered the test to be useful tool for evaluation of clients? abilities and for their integration to the self-dependent living. There was developed suitable tool for evaluation of clients' abilities represented by the simple test in knowledge of using of household appliances. The test is based on the interviews with the employees of sanitary facilities where the research was made regard to the appliance of these institutions. Test was tried for the small group of respondents at first. Then the test was adjusted according to the obtained data to get the most objective data.
