Social work with client families early care services focusing on siblings
GREGOROVÁ, Klára
The topic of my thesis is a social work with customer families and services of early care, aimed at siblings. The first chapter describes current situation and it is divided into seven units. The first unit defines the topic and the tasks of family who has essential role in children care, especially in care for disabled children. The topic of disability is described in the next chapter. I have explained the formation of disability, divisions of disability and then social impact on individual people. The special attention is paid to visual and hearing impairment. The focus group of The Centre of Early Care in Ceske Budejovice, which I was describing in my thesis, are the families of children with visual or hearing impairment. The following unit is focused on the topic of a family of disabled child, especially topic of healthy and disabled siblings. Further, I was focused on the specifications of social work with a family and social work with disabled people. There is a short description of therapy, too. The final unit of my thesis is dedicated to early care its definition, services, activities and aims. There is a description of early care, there is a specification of a team of workers and there are described concrete forms of help to families thanks to this service. The practical part of the thesis is a qualitative research, its main aim was to find out what is the main reason for social work with a family with a disabled child in terms of services of social care. There were two research files needed for needs of my research. The first one were customer families, the second one was a key advisor of these families. I used the question method and the method of a half-structure dialogue for my qualitative research. I created curriculum for two half-structured dialogues, one was for the families, the second one was for an advisor. Questions were aimed at the certain topics. These topics were leading to answering of given questions, although the questions within a dialogue with families were different from questions for the key advisor. The research shows that families have different options of services, which are provided by the service of an early care, the whole topic depends on a few factors, which service the family will want and need to use. The main role is played by the overall family lifestyle, its possibilities, aims and wishes. Based on the research, we can say, that there is a whole range of services that are offered to families, these services are available for a healthy sibling, too. Everything again depends on a few factors, how deeply these services will be used. Based on the results of the research, we can say that families caring for a disabled child edit differently individual tasks for individual members of a household and care for its children. Early care is a service which respects individual aspects mentioned above and takes into account these for needs of work of advisors of early family care. It is a service aimed at a family, there it is needed to reflect its possibilities, wishes, aims and try to make the service hand-tailored for the family to keep increasing level of its services.
