Supporting communication in patients with multiple sclerosis
Macháčková, Milada ; Klenková, Jiřina (advisor) ; Kopečný, Petr (referee)
The present diploma thesis deals with the topic of communication support in patients with multiple sclerosis in the terminal stage of the disease. Since the number of institutions in the Czech republic which deal with this issue is extremely limited, the questions addressed in the thesis are more topical than ever. In the first part of the thesis, the author introduces to the reader the disease as such, with its clinical picture and pathologies, types, diagnostics, progress, and treatment. The aim of the thesis is to characterize the needs and forms of support for patients with respect to communication and in order to reach this aim the author conducted a survey in an institution in the form of an exploratory research. Answers to the research questions were sought in case studies of patients who were willing to participate in the research and who shared their life stories and provided insight into their intimate struggle to cope with the disease in the best way possible. Their goal was prosaically simple - to keep control over their lives and their human dignity for as long as possible. KEYWORDS multiple sclerosis, augmentative communication, alternative communication, technical aids, non-technical aids

Application of the alternative and augmentative forms of communication by children suffering the Infantil cerebral palsy in České Budějovice
BLECHOVÁ, Vendula
The theoretical part of this work contains the definition of the Infantile cerebral palsy and its associated handicaps, then it contains a short explanation of the term ?communication? as well as a summary of the most widely used and actual methods and instruments for the alternative and augmentative communication. The first aim of this Bachelor work is to get an overview about the methods and systems of the alternative and augmentative communication in the area of České Budějovice used by the communication training and by the communication itself with the children who suffer the Infantil cerebral palsy. The second aim of this work is to find out, what´s the attitude to these methods from the view of these childrens´ parents, who are using such methods by their own children. For gaining the required data, a qualitative research has been carried out, in concrete ?The methods of observation and interview? in the form of a structured interview with opened questions. The interviews were realized both with the concrete parents of these handicaped children, who communicate with their children by using the methods of alternative and augmentative communication ? and also with the specialized staff who work with these handicaped children. The interviews were realized in the ARPIDA, o.s. center and in the Světluška, o.p.s. center in České Budějovice. From this research it has emerged, that from all these alternative and augmentative methods - suitable for the communication training with these handicaped children - the interviewed specified staff from České Budějovice uses mostly the method ?The Picture Exchange Communication System? and as a supporting method ?Communication tables?. The parents, who decided to use the methods of alternative and augmentative communication, find these methods mostly positive. This work could serve as an informational material for parents, specialized staff and for applicants who are interested in systems of alternative and augmentative communication.

Utilization of alternative and augmentative communication systems for children with cerebral palsy
UHLÍKOVÁ, Barbora
This thesis describes the use of alternative communication systems with children who suffer from cerebral palsy (CP) The introduction of the thesis briefly defines CP, its varieties and the causes of its outburst. I paid particular attention to defected communication skills of individuals with CP which negatively affect one's development. The overview of alternative and augmentative communication methods (AAC) focuses particularly on the methods aiming at compensation of impaired communication skills used in the Czech Republic. Second part of the paper contains case studies describing concrete situations with individual children. All the studies examine cases of clients with CP using the AAC. The goal of the paper is to define whether the use of AAC methods leads to an improvement of social relationships and learning skills. The research shows that the use of AAC systems positively affects social relationships and communication skills.
