Applied Behavior Analysis, Therapy in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder
HOLCOVÁ, Stela
The Bachelor's thesis focuses on applied behavioural analysis and therapy for children suffering from autism spectrum disorder. The Bachelor's thesis aims at analysing the opinion of parents of children with ASD on applied behavioural analysis. The thesis is divided into two parts. The theoretical section contains six chapters discussing the theoretical definition of autism spectrum disorders and applied behavioural analysis. The practical part consists of a quantitative research strategy using a questionnaire survey method. The respondents were the parents of children diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder. A total of 205 respondents participated in the research. The obtained data were assessed using descriptive statistics in MS Excel software; the hypotheses were tested using IBM SPSS statistical software applying t-test and ANOVA techniques. The research results indicated that the awareness of parents of children diagnosed with ASD about the applied behavioural analysis is relatively high; nevertheless, a significant percentage of respondents had never been informed about this approach. Based on the research results, the attitude of parents of children with ASD towards applied behavioural analysis appears to be neutral. Parents generally did not observe any effects when the applied behavioural analysis was used. The first hypothesis investigated whether any positive effects of applied behavioural analysis were influenced by the type of autism, while the second hypothesis tested whether the age of their child influenced parents' more positive attitudes towards applied behavioural analysis. However, neither hypothesis was confirmed; the results failed to indicate any statistically significant difference. The Bachelor's thesis may provide feedback to therapists or organisations practising applied behaviour analysis. It may also help raise awareness of the therapy for parents of children diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder.

UŠIAKOVÁ, Dagmar
Senior population awareness on the social services offer in the Horažďovice region Old age is accompanied by a whole range of involutional morphological and functional changes. The involution rate is individual, but there are identical, typical age troubles the frequent consequences of which is a reduced self-sufficiency in elderly people. Seniors represent a specific group of social services users. The essential prerequisite for adequate utilization of social services by seniors is a sufficient degree of awareness of the character and type of services available. In the context of the state social policy resources are directed to help people in bad social situations to compensate defects in the market system. The number of facilities providing social services in the Horažďovice region is rather low. At social services community planning seniors were defined as citizens whose needs should be given greater attention, especially social services development is essential. Therefore the objective of this thesis is to determine the level of senior population awareness on services provided. The quantitative sociological research was used to accomplish the aim. The method used to collect relevant data was the questionnaire technique. Questionnaires were distributed to seniors living in the town of Horažďovice and its vicinity. The return rate of the questionnaires was 55%. The outcomes show that the level of awareness in seniors living in the town is high and this is lower at smaller places. It should be noted that the awareness level often results from informal information transfer among the elderly themselves, there is no official source of information accessible to seniors living in villages. The research investigated the influence of the seniors´ place of residence, their age and their increased assistance demands on the level of their awareness. The results indicated that the largest effect has the residence location (town-village), differences within the group of younger and older seniors, self-sufficient and socially weak seniors were not essential in terms of the awareness level. The outcomes of the thesis may help social services providers plan community services development in the region.
