The importance and possibilities of compensatory aids for children with visual impairment from parents
BLÁHOVÁ, Pavlína
Bakalářská práce se zabývá problematikou informovanosti rodičů o významu a dostupnosti kompenzačních pomůcek pro děti se zrakovým postižením. Zaměřuje se především na názory rodičů o kompenzačních pomůckách a jejich dostupnost. Dále se zabývá významem a dostupností kompenzačních pomůcek, pro kompenzaci v oblasti zrakové percepce. Bakalářská práce je rozdělena do dvou částí, a to na část teoretickou a praktickou. Teoretická část se zabývá etiologií zraku, rozdělením zrakových vad a kognitivním vývojem dítěte. Dále se zabývá kompenzačními pomůckami pro zrakově postižené a organizacemi, které jsou zaměřené na pomoc lidem s postižením zraku. Praktická, neboli výzkumná část, byla zpracována pomocí kvantitativního výzkumného šetření. Pro sběr dat bylo použito dotazníkové šetření. Dotazník byl tvořen z 16 otázek. 4 otázky z dotazníku byly otevřené a 13 otázek bylo uzavřených. Výzkumný soubor celkem tvořilo 100 vyplněných dotazníků. Tyto dotazníky vyplnili respondenti, kteří mají děti se zrakovým postižením. Z výzkumného šetření byla zjištěna informovanost rodičů o kompenzačních pomůckách a jejich dostupnost. Z výsledku výzkumu vyplývá, že je informovanost u oslovených respondentů dostačující. Dále z výsledků vyplývá, že většina respondentů nespolupracuje s níže uvedenými organizacemi. Většina respondentů dostává informace o kompenzačních pomůckách od lékaře, a ve většině případů se jedná o samoplátce.

At the end of the practical part, the obtained data are evaluated. The results of this bachelor's thesis can be beneficial for visually impaired people who are hesitant to buy a guide dog as a compensatory aid. Those people can read the opinions of visually impaired people on the quality of life with a guide dog. The outputs of the bachelor thesis can also be used as study material.

The negatives associated with the use of a guide dog were not described by the respondents as activities that would make their lives difficult.

Subsidies Provided by the City Council in České Budějovice for the Purchase of Compensatory Aids
NOVÁKOVÁ, Olga
In my work I dealt with subsidies for the purchase of compensatory aids provided by the City Council in České Budějovice in 2007 and 2008. The aim of the work has been to find out if disabled people, the subsidy applicants, are satisfied with the amount of the subsidies and if the new aid helps them eliminate, alleviate or even overcome their handicap. The theoretical part is concerned with the subsidy scheme and the legal regulations which form the framework for granting subsidies provided by social department officers. This part also explains what the expressions ``compensatory aids`` and {\clqq}disabled person`` mean. The practical part contains a questionnaire survey which was conducted with chosen disabled people on the subsidy for compensatory aids granted by the City Council in České Budějovice.in 2007 and 2008. The findings helped me evaluate my hypotheses stated at the beginning. The outcome of my work will be used at the City Council in České Budějovice as a method of providing disabled people with subsidies for buying compensatory aids.

Essentials and passibilities of compensative aid - guede dog
PILZOVÁ, Jana
Loss of vision or a severe sight injury means a very significant change in the life of the affected person. Compensatory aids play in important part in incorporating thus handicapped people into all varieties of social life. Nowadays people with serious sight handicap can choose from many compensatory aids, optical and non-optical ones. A guiding dog is one of many possible compensations of visual defect or seriously injured eyesight. For a guiding dog to become an approved compensatory aid according to Act n. 100/1998 Sb. further specified by regulation 182/1991 Sb. two basic conditions must be fulfilled. Firstly, the dog must pass a special training with a final test and secondly the applicant must be eligible to using a dog as a compensatory aid. The paper aims at providing an illustrative outline of the most typical situations concerning owners of guiding dogs in South Bohemia. During the research the author encountered many difficulties. One of which was the lack of unity of provided services by individual organizations dealing with training of guiding dogs. The greatest differences occurred in the service when handing over the dog (the extant and details concerning documentation of the dog, the health card, the extant of information for the future owner) and in the following service when a problem arises. To fulfill the aim of the present paper a Form for semidirected interview was created, which contains 4 fields (identification data, acquisition, possession and the use of the guiding dog). The semi directed interviews were aimed at the owners of the guiding dogs. There are 27 guiding dogs in South Bohemia. The greatest number of guiding dogs is in the district of Jindřichův Hradec. The author presumes that this paper will help potential clients to orientate themselves in claiming a compensatory aid-the guiding dog. The paper is further conducted as an orientation aid for administration workers of municipal authorities with extended powers.
