Current Trends in Business Practice Support Employees with Visual Impairment.
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.

Employing Individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder
MATĚJÍČKOVÁ, Kristýna
The Bachelor's thesis deals with the employment of individuals with autism spectrum disorder. The aim of the paper is to find out the opinions or experience of employers regarding the employment of individuals with autism spectrum disorder. It also strives to map the experience of social workers focusing on social work with individuals with autism spectrum disorder in the field of employment. The results of both research groups shall be compared and the reasons for the low number of jobs for individuals with autism spectrum disorder shall be found. A qualitative approach was chosen for the research. The data was obtained by the method of questioning using semi-structured interviews with social workers and employers. The evaluation was performed using the method of clustering. It has been found that the offer of jobs for individuals with autism spectrum disorder is very low and finding suitable employment is a huge problem for these individuals. An important role for individuals with ASD is played by social workers, who help these individuals prepare for employment, communicate with employers, offer accompaniment to job interviews and even to work. The problem often is the approach of employers, who usually do not want to employ individuals with ASD precisely because of their diagnosis. A big role in this problem is played by employers' perceptions of individuals with ASD, which, according to social workers, is often distorted by the media, and employers do not really know what to expect from such a person. This Bachelor's thesis can serve as a source of information on the topic of employment of individuals with autism spectrum disorder. It could also motivate readers to raise awareness of autism spectrum disorder, so that job seekers with ASD have better opportunities to enter the labour market as is the case in other countries.

Data were obtained by the method of questioning, the technique of semi-controlled interview. Then, the data were evaluated by using open coding method followed by data categorization. The results show that people with ASD do not have much experience in employment and they mentioned employers as one of the prime reasons who are not inclined to offer positions to people with autism spectrum disorder. Despite offering them a number of benefits, both economic and individual. This bachelor's thesis and its findings can be useful as a warning to the general public and professionals interested in the issue of ASD. Another benefit can be considered an increase in awareness and the notion of employers about the employability of people with ASD - that's means factors and specifics associated with the employment of these individuals. Lastly, I would also mention the benefits for organizations in using new knowledge from practice.
