The process of providing support through a comprehensive rehabilitation system
ŠTURMOVÁ, Alena
The aim of the thesis was to analyse the current form, process, and available means of providing support within a comprehensive rehabilitation system and its coordination with the broader ARPIDA centre, from the perspective of clients' parents and with an emphasis on the application of case management. The centre emphasises the cooperation of the cross-functional team, with parents perceived as partners and an organic part of the team of specialists. The thesis can thus serve as a basis for the development and improvement of existing services and their coordination in the ARPIDA centre. The qualitative research strategy, interviewing research method and semi-structured interview data collection technique were determined to be the most suitable for this particular thesis. The sample group consisted of clients' parents at different life stages who use services at the ARPIDA centre. The informants were selected based on the staff's recommendation and to form a representative group of all types of services provided by ARPIDA. Eight interviews were conducted and the selection was concluded on the bases of data saturation, where there was repetition of themes, opinions and the interviews did not bring new information. The data was processed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA), which explores the subjective experiences of informants in detail, resulting in 13 main themes that underpin the research questions and the aim of the thesis: Perceptions of the holistic rehabilitation system, the interconnectedness of services, which services are missing from the centre's offerings, first contact with the centre, perceptions of communication with staff, whom parents can contact, collaboration with key workers, support from staff and their collaboration, how parents perceive their role in the cross-functional team, interprofessional meetings with staff, case manager involvement, and what are the weaknesses and strengths of the holistic rehabilitation process. Answers to all of these themes can help the ARPIDA centre to better understand how clients' parents perceive comprehensive coordinated care in the spirit of a holistic system of rehabilitation.

Possibility education children and students with physical disability in Benešov.
STEHLÍKOVÁ, Lucie
The dissertation deals with the education of students with handicappeds in the normal and special primary schools. The teoretical part is focused on the definition of disability and its types. Another chapter deals with the possibilities of education, including the integration and condition, activities, advisory institutions services and legislative modification of education. Here you will find a reference to the history of access to the disabled. As the main sources I used specialized literature. The objective of the study was to determine the attitude of parents, educators and other professionals as well their own children with handicappends in the educational process in currents mainstream classes and the classes in the special schools. In this part of the dissertation is specified the research and partial objective including the research question, which was implemented by the qualitative data collection. There is not ignored the character of the selective file and the detailed description of the research itself, which was executed by semi-standardized interviews and analysis of the student´s documentation. The majority of the respondents were approached in writing with a request for cooperation, the remaining individuals I contacted personally. Selected group was composed of individuals who answered the criteria for meeting the research objectives. Subsequently, it was realized a personal meeting with respondents willing to participate in the research part of the dissertation. There are not mentioned the names of some institutions and the names of the respondents in order to maintain anonymity, which they required. The interviews were executed always in private individuality without the presence to other people and were mostly driven by pre-prepared question that have been adapted to the ages and levels of respondents. The results cannot be applied in general, since it is a work with the character of case studies. During the analyzing process of the data that emerged from the interviews with selected respondents is possible to say that children and students in the selected region have relatively a wide range of choosing schools for their education. However, not all schools are really prepared for the arrival of individuals with handicappends, and unfortunately there is a preference for children with minor degrees of disability. The possible problem I would see in the quality of service of the specialized facilities that I had the opportunity to visit, which was unsatisfactory, especially the normal schools providing an opportunity for integration. In comparison which the legislation does not in the Decree no. 73/2005 Coll. and in the amended law no 147/2011 Coll. §3 concerning of the education children, pupils and students with special educational needs f children and the education of children, pupils and students in the Education Act. no 561/2004 Coll. regarding preschool, secondary and technical and other kind of education and § 16 in Act no. 563/2004 Coll. about teaching persons and amending certain acts. Not only does it showed ignorance teachers sometimes partial reluctance to develop in areas of need, but also the overall approach of teaching staff on the whole process of integration of children and pupils with physical disabilities. For unsatisfactory or rather inadequate, I also evaluated the awareness and cooperation of parents by counselling centers and thus also in cooperation with school facilities and particularly the incompetence of the teaching assistants of the teachers.The main objective was to map out what is happening in the education of individuals with disabilities in the region around the city Benešov and its close proximity to the public that this issues is concerned. The work could be beneficial, since the findings could serve as a potential source of information on the potential positives and negatives of education in these facilities as well as could be useful for parents a students.

KYLBERGEROVÁ, Lucie
This bachelor's thesis is focused on the issue of employment of people with disabilities. The theoretical part is divided into four subchapters. In the first subchapter I was interested in the definition of the term of disability, the rules for equalization of opportunities of people, socialization and discrimination of disabled people. The second subchapter describes who we are allowed to consider being unemployed, the types of unemployment, the risk groups, the tools which the government uses in the active and passive types of employment policy and finally also states the level of unemployment in the Czech Republic on 31st January 2014.The third subchapter is called disabled people at labor market. It explains the importance of work for people, explains the comprehensive rehabilitation system and its constituent part-vocational rehabilitation and it points at specifics of employing disabled people. The last subchapter of the theoretical part characterizes the region of Strakonice, its strengths and weaknesses and also mentions the significant employers there. The information about the condition of employing disabled people in this region is also available in the last subchapter. The main aim of this thesis is considering the condition of employing disabled people in the region of Strakonice. There were two other aims determined. The first of them was to chart the reasons of unemployment of disabled people from their point of view and from the view of their employers. The second side aim was to chart the reasons of unemployment from the point of view of the employers who do not employ disabled people.

Therapeutic techniques and their use for children with disabilities at school age
KOLÁŘOVÁ, Marie
The topic of this bachelor thesis are therapheutical techniques and the way they are used in helping school-age children with disabilities. The theoretical part of this thesis defines the terms "therapy", "therapist" and ?comprehensive rehabilitation system?. Comprehensive rehabilitation system comprises not only occupational, social and pedagogical resources, but primarily also therapeutic resources that include (but are not limited to) therapies (e.g. ergotherapy, animal-assisted therapy, music therapy or drama therapy). Therapies are the prevailing topic of the major part of this thesis, which mainly deals with features of individual therapeutic techniques used in specific therapies. My thesis also describes development stages of school-age children, which are divided into "lower" and "higher" school age. In final conclusion of the theoretical part, I also briefly refer to physical disabilities (etiology, types of disabilities and associated illnesses). The goal of the practical part of my bachelor thesis is to research the type of therapeutic techniques that are currently being used for specific therapies in Arpida therapeutic centre in the town of České Budějovice. To achieve this goal I have set one primary research question: to reseach the types of therapeutic techniques used by therapists for treating children with physical disabilities. My research have demonstrated that in the field of ergotherapy the therapists from Arpida centre primarily practise three basic techniques: activities of daily living ? ADL, hand ergotherapy, that is focusing mainly on developing fine and gross motor skills of children with physical disabilities, and (last but not least) therapeutic games. There are several of them being used and their aim is to develop cognitive skills of the child, his or her imagination and creativity and also to develop the above-mentioned fine and gross motor skills. Another from analysed therapies was animal-assisted therapy. In this centre, it was practised only in the form of canistherapy (therapy aided by dogs) and hippotherapy, in which the main therapeutic resource is a horse. My research has demonstrated that, in the field of canistherapy, therapists mainly practice Animal Assisted Activites, Animal Assisted Therapies and Animal Assisted Education. In the field of hippotherapy, my research showed that the most frequently used techniques are horse-riding for pedagogical-psychological purposes and hippotherapy, during which the most frequently used client positioning is lying on back, leaning on forearms, leaning on palms and sitting position. The third analysed therapy was art therapy. The most frequently used techniques were drawing, painting, mixed-media techniques as well as other graphics techniques or ceramics work. Was focused on another area - music therapy. For school-age kids with physical disabilities, my research showed that therapists practice techniques such as rhythm games, games with objects and tools, music and artistic techniques, music theatre games, improvisation and games with singing. The aim of these techniques is to target kids awareness, memory and thinking training as well as help them to express their then current emotions. Last but not least, it also helps them develop their motor skills. The next analysed therapy (and a last one) is drama therapy. In this area my research demonstrated that it is not all about drama therapy itself.
