The topic of my thesis is the Specific features of communication of the social and health care worker with a disabled child's family. The content of the theoretical part is the introduction of attitudes that make the family and the child with disabilities a close surrounding and a wider society. In this section we also find the phases that parents are going through when diagnosing their child. An important topic in this work has also been the way in which information on the diagnosis or health status of the child is communicated to its family members. In the theoretical part, I also dealt with the possibilities and types of communication both general and specific in helping professions. I mainly focused on communication in health care and social work. In the methodological part, I used qualitative research. In particular, I applied the technique of a semi-structured interview when I interviewed family members of children with disabilities and a structured interview with open questions led by doctors and social workers. The aim of the thesis is to identify which ethical aspects can influence the effectiveness of mutual communication in connection with the specific family environment of a disabled child. The work highlights mistakes in communication in specific situations and seeks the principles for the most appropriate communication with family members of children with disabilities. The result of the work is to find out what are the most common errors in communicating with the family of disabled children in the work of social and healthcare workers and what their ethical aspects are affecting them.

Scouting as possibility how spend leisure time for persons with disabilities
Haringová, Věra ; Květoňová, Lea (advisor) ; Prouzová-Květoňová, Regina (referee)
The principles of Scouting are based on helping those who need help, and work with its members should in Junák come out from these foundations. This implies that the inclusion of children with disabilities should be encouraged in this organization. But leaders often face barriers that must overcome if they decide to adopt a child with a disability. The problem is mainly a lack of information on the principles of working with children with disabilities. Leaders then can not adequately explain to their members the individual needs of children with disabilities in their troop. Other children also for this reason may not accept a child with a disability among themselves. The leader may for example encounter a child with intellectual disabilities. This includes the need for disability-specific approach to the child, and therefore it is necessary to know the principles of working with the child to succeeded his inclusion to the troop.

Awareness of Pediatricians and Social Workers on Early Intervention Services
PLÁŠILOVÁ, Dana
The theoretical part includes the demarcation of circumstances in which young children may develop a disability as well as rehabilitation options. Furthermore, it deals with the history and progress of early years care in the Czech Republic. It also touches on the topic of how to impart the adverse diagnosis on parents or how to handle such situations. The results of the study reveal that while the social workers at the department for social matters and healthcare as well as paediatricians in the České Budějovice area are aware of the existence of early years care, they do not pass on this information to families at such a level that they may decide whether or not they wish to make use of these services of early years care. The families at the České Budějovice Early Years Care Centre obtain information about early years care prevalently from specialists in large hospitals. They would appreciate being given this information directly at the maternal ward or hospital where the baby was born, or from their paediatrician
