KUBEŠOVÁ, Eliška
The bachelor's thesis deals with people who are visually impaired and with current trends in support during their employment. The thesis aims at the analysis of the needs of people with visual impairments in connection with the issue of their employment, as employment and access to the labor market belong to basic human and civil right. People with visual impairments are limited in their access to information and independent mobility. The area of occupational rehabilitation, re-education, development of information and communication technologies, precisely these areas aim at the minimization and elimination of limits. At the beginning, the theoretical part describes who a person with a visual impairment is, and deals with the degrees and types of visual impairment. It analyses the specifications of congenital and acquired visual impairment, the possibilities of its compensation and, last but not least, its health and social impacts. Another section was dedicated to methods of education and professional training of people with visual impairments. In these sub-chapters, individual types of education are briefly explained, from pre-school, primary school and secondary school to university education and subsequent professional training. The last section of the theoretical part describes the work itself and also its importance for individuals with visual impairments. The sub-chapters of this section are devoted to the psychological aspects of work, legislative definition, human rights issues and of course to current trends in the employment of visually impaired people. The practical part is processed in the form of quantitative research. The data obtained from the survey are processed at the level of the first and the second level of classification. The results show that visually impaired people encounter most often a certain attitude of employers and employees based on prejudices against people with disabilities, with employers' fear of higher expenses when employing them. On the contrary, they perceive the most significant support from the family, the possibilities of using modern technologies, or assistive technologies, and in projects supporting the employability of the blind people.

Availabity of compensation aids for people with impaired vision after social reform in 2012
KUNEŠOVÁ, Hana
Bachelor thesis "The availability of assistive devices for people with visual impairments after social reform in 2012" discusses specific changes in Act no. 100/1988 Coll., about social security, in particular changes relating to contributions to special tool. The aim of the work is to highlight resulting differences in national regulations and determine whether the interviewed individuals with visual disabilities have changed the approach in selection of assistive devices that they need for their life. Thesis is divided into three parts: theoretical, research, and appendix. The theoretical part focuses on problem of visual impairment and possibility of compensation, because the eye is considered as very important part of every person's life. If a person cannot fully exploit this sense, it is necessary to use various assistive devices to help him cope with everyday situations. However, the individual may use a particular tool, he must meet certain criteria, both in terms of health and finances. Conditions that he must currently meet, so he could be granted a special allowance for aid are set out in Act no. 329/2011 Coll., about provision of benefits for persons with disabilities, which is supplemented by Decree no. 388/2011 Coll., implementing certain provisions of the Act for provision of benefits to persons with disabilities. The above two laws refer to third part of theoretical part, where are precisely defined differences arising just from reform. The research part first sets the goal of work and specific research question, followed by a work methodology that was used in form of qualitative research. Using semi-structured interviews with individual clients of TyfloCentrum in Pilsen I was looking for an answer to research question which is: "Should social reform impact on changing the approach in the selection of mobility aids for persons with visual disabilities?" From respondents' answers the answer to this question revealed, that social reform did not affect the change of approach in selection of compensatory aids in investigation file. These individuals with visual disabilities do not have to re-evaluate their requirements and aids can also choose the same manner as before the reform. Theoretical part of this work may serve as a resource, or as a brief overview of what has by the influence of social reform changed and for what have currently users of assistive devices claim, without tediously search this information on the internet or ask competent authority. Practical part of the work gives the opportunity to use it for services for individual TyfloCenters, where qualitative information can be used to adjust survey offers to its clients, namely withdrawal of tenders of unproven products and vice versa will encourage companies that have good references.
