Activities and plays affecting the personality of an autistic child
LEGNEROVÁ, Miroslava
This bachelor's degree dissertation is focused on children suffering the autism spectrum disorder, who visit the "Volno" Relief Care Centre seated in Kolín. The autism spectrum disorder is a serious dyscrasia characterised by impaired communication, impaired ability to establish relationship, impaired imagination and other symptoms seriously affecting the life and quality of life of an individual. It is very difficult for the parents and families of autistic children to accept the child's disorder, to reconcile themselves with the disorder and to learn to live in the given situation. I set three goals for my dissertation; the first one is to map the activities, plays and specific approaches to the children in the "Volno" Relief Care Centre. The second aim is to judge on the basis of the collected data if the applied activities, plays and specific approaches to autistic children in the Centre satisfy the biological and psycho-social needs of the children. The third aim is to identify on the basis of interview with parents, whether the specific activities, plays and individual approach to children affect the child's behaviour in the family environment. The theoretical part deals with the term of autism, its etiology, characteristics, classification and triad of the problem spheres. Furthermore, I describe in the theoretical part the basic and the supporting educational and training approaches and therapies, I deal with the combination of autism and play, and last but not least, I introduce the "Volno" Relief Care Centre. The practical part was performed directly in the "Volno" Centre. I have chosen the qualitative research to identify the goals. The qualitative research was made using the case studies {--} casuistry of the selected children suffering ASD, by observation methods and by inquiries using the interview technique and the personal document analysis technique. Four ASD children were included in the set, each one with a different level of disorder, different age and different school classification. The third part provides the results that satisfied the set goals and the conclusion that the specific activities, approaches and plays are beneficial for the ASD children visiting the "Volno" Relief Care Centre, satisfying their needs and influencing behaviour of the children in family environment.

KOVÁŘOVÁ, Emilie
Autism is one of the most serious disorders of children{\crq}s mental development. As a consequence of this congenital, lifelong disorder, the affected people do not understand properly what they see, hear and experience. Owing to this affliction mental development is disturbed mainly in the spere of communication, social interaction and imagination. Autism is accompanied by specific behavioral patterns. The aim of this paper was to find out the conditions of positive contacts of autistic clients with the staff of Petra Mačkov Home. I have determined the following hypotheses on the basis of the completed research: An autistic client residing in a handicapped people{\crq}s home is able of having a positive contact with their social environment. The observations and experience presented in the bachelor paper could be useful for the staff of handicapped people{\crq}s homes who look after autistic clients.

Social Services for People with an Autistic Spectrum Impairment and their Families.
SVOBODOVÁ, Eva
Autism is a serious development impairment which is characterized by impaired communication and ability to develop relationships with other people, urgent need of permanence and other symptoms that seriously affect the life of an individual and people in their surroundings. The situation of autistic people in the Czech Republic is becoming better and better every year. Although the improvement of the services and care of autistic people is provable it is still impossible to consider the current situation satisfying. The objection of the diploma work was to find out the extent and quality of the comprehensive attitude to children with autistic spectrum impairments and to map the care of these children and their families. The research group consisted of four children with autism diagnosis in cooperation with their families. The research took place in day- and week-centres in Jihlava, while all the respondents used the service of the week-centre. The methodology of the diploma work is based on the principles of the qualitative research. The following methods and techniques of data collection were used in order to achieve the objective: method of participant observation, content analysis of documents, technique of half-controlled discussion and they were gradually completed during the survey. The basic concept of the comprehensive attitude to autistic children and their families is characterized by a purposeful interdisciplinary interconnection of care in the social, heath and educational area. It is logical that such pervasive affection as autism requires cooperation of many specialists of assisting professions and such assistance thus connects different areas of services to people. Facilities providing services in the field of social and educational services and guidance are irreplaceable as far as ensuring a functioning system that guaranties quality of social services, guidance and help to autistic children and their families is concerned. The only possible attitude is a better understanding of the world of the autistic people that differs from our ideas and practices so much. The contribution of my diploma work lies in the possibility to utilize its results in the field of ensuring a quality effective systematic care of children suffering from autism and their families.
