Needs of persons with disabilities and their close persons during hospitalisation
Andersová, Věra ; Květoňová, Lea (advisor) ; Mrkosová, Eva (referee)
Experience of patients with disabilities and their close persons during hospitalisation demonstrates insufficient understanding to the needs of such people. This issue is also discussed in foreign literature, wherein the need to establish the position of a specialized worker who knows very well the conditions of the health care facility and the needs of people with disabilities is emphasized. The objective of this thesis is to point out the complex issue of the needs of people with learning disability and their close persons during hospitalisation. Hospitalisation itself is a difficult and demanding situation in any person's life. For persons with learning disability, this situation is even more serious. The thesis aims at describing the experience of persons with learning disability so that it may serve as the basis for improving their health care.

The thesis tries to contribute to spread the consciousness about the people who had learning disabilities and who lived during the normalization. In our contemporary history this group was marginalized. The aim of this thesis is to try if and how the environment and living conditions of these people in the institutional care changed during the years 1969 - 1992. The research was realised by the oral history and worked with five testimonies of women who live in different parts of the Czech Republic and who worked with people with learning disabilities before 1989 and also in the nineties. The other sources which I used were publications devoted to special education. These publications contain the short process of evolution of care of people with learning disabilities. I used the publications which were published during the years 1969 - 1992 and also those which were published after 1989. The basic area of topics in the thesis includes the daily routine in the institutional care, the education (institutional and also non-institutional), employment, financial matters and the leisure time of people with learning disabilities. The others are: the view of the majority society to these people and how the special teachers were educated. The final chapter reflects the changes occurred after November 1989....

The options of coordinated support for students with disabilities in the region of South Bohemia
FÉROVÁ, Lydie
The theme of this thesis is: Possibilities of coordinated support for students with learning disabilities in the region of South Bohemia. The thesis is divided into theoretical and practical part. The theoretical part describes the general characteristics of learning disability. I focus specifically on light learning disability because the research of the thesis is focused on students with light learning disability. I also deal with the possibilities of coordinated support that is provided to these pupils. Especially pedagogical and psychological support because this is area where are the most needs of this pupils (because of specific attributes of light learning disability). The practical part is a qualitative research that aims to identify how students with light mental disabilities perceive and use the possibility of coordinated support granted to them. Qualitative research is appropriate in this case, because goal is to obtain in-depth description of the selected cases. I used half-sctructured interviews. I selected this form, because it allows to extend research by the supplementary questions, so the interviewer can flexibly respond to various situations during the interview. Through additional questions the interviewer is able to get more valuable information related to the topic of conversation. The research focus on four practical primary school pupils in Prachatice, who also attend the K-Club in Husinec. I know the pupils and their families personally from K-Club Christian free-time club organized by YMCA and the Brotherly Church in Husinec. Pupils are aged from nine to thirteen years. They come from socially weak families. First group of respondents, consists of these four pupils and their parents. I included parents in order to get more complex responses. The second group of respondents are workers of special pedagogic center in Strakonice and practical primary school teacher in Prachatice. Both groups of respondents were very helpful and willingly gave me interviews. I interviewed experts first and then pupils and parents. Through interviews, I was looking for answers to the research questions that arise from the bachelor thesis goals. 1. How pupils with light learning disabilities perceive the possibility of a coordinated support granted to them? 2. How pupils with light learning disabilities use the possibility of coordinated support, granted to them? The research results are affected by a certain specificity of the investigation sample. All pupils attend the same school and live in the same city. They all come from socially disadvantaged families. This fact complicates the generalization of the results to a wider group of pupils with light learning disabilities. On the other hand, allows a deeper insight into this particular context. The interviews show that substantial support is provided primarily by the school. The pedagogical-psychological counseling had a first diagnosis. Some parents remember that they get advice how to work with children at home. Some children get speech therapy. When children attend primary school, they don't continue to work with them. The school works with special pedagogic center in Strakonice. But contact with children is limited to periodical control examination. At school, children are given speech therapy. The school also offers a wide range of school activities. The teacher emphasizes the individual approach and clarity in teaching. She seeks to make the students familiar with the knowledge, but also the correct behavior patterns. The interviews show that children generally perceive support from the school in positive way. At school, they have friends, and get along with teacher very well. In case of problems at school they have someone with whom they can seek help. Pupils use more support options, but crucial role in on the school.
