Menšíková, Marcela ; Fričová, Marie (advisor) ; Novotná, Viléma (referee)
Topic: Motion Composition for children with Autistic Spectrum Disorder Objectives: The aim of this thesis has been to find out the degree of mastery for individual performance of Motion Composition performed by children with Autistic Spectrum Disorder. Methods: Observation method was supplemented with video-recording that was conducted monthly. This was used to determine the degree of self-reliance. Also, feedback from other individuals has been used. Results: Outcomes of this survey indicate that children with Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) are able to individually perform Motion Composition. Some children need more time to perform perfectly, but they are able to memorize components of Motion Composition, arrange them in the correct order and after some rehearsal they are able to perform Motion Composition correctly. The level of performance for individual components is raised proportionally when children can see visual execution of each element and also hear its description. Evaluated results of a second scientific question, which was related to the level of performance difficulty of individual components of Motion Composition for children with ASD, have brought unanticipated results. We anticipated that isometric exercises would be the most difficult components of Motion Composition. According...

Bezecná, Andrea ; Sotáková, Hana (advisor) ; Kucharská, Anna (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with the issue of drawings in children with autism. It is divided into two parts, the theoretical and the empirical. In the first part I am foccusing mainly on theoretical findings about Autism Spectrum Disorder, continuing by children's drawings and it's development in population and at the end I'm attending to the specifics of the drawing of children with autism. The empirical part contains a description of data collection, a detailed case report of a child with Autism Spectrum Disorder and finally an analysis of dozens of drawing that I collected in collaboration with the child's parents. Data interpretation is supplemented by other informations, such as a course of drawing, comments or testimony of child's mother about the development of drawing expression and about the drawings themselves. The aim of my thesis is to determine whether there are specific features in the drawing of a child with Asperger Syndrome and subsequently these characters interconnect with literature and scientific knowledge about autism.
