This disease is linked to the X chromosome and therefore affects mostly males. This progressive muscular disease gradually leads to limited mobility and high dependence in activities of daily living. Boys with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy need constant care based on a multidisciplinary approach. Around age 10, because of the progression of the disease, they lose the ability to walk independently and they become dependent on a wheelchair. In the second decade of their lives the weakness spreads to the upper limbs, their lung capacity decreases, and cardiac abnormalities begin to appear. Individuals with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy have a life expectancy of about 35 years.

Care of Options for Children with Neuromuscular Diseases and Their Way of Special Educational Support in the Education Process in Region South of Bohemia
GRAUSAMOVÁ, Jana
Bachelor thesis is entitled "How to care for children with neuromuscular diseases and their ways of special educational support in the education process in the region of South Bohemia" and is divided into two parts. The first part is theoretical and there I define the concept of physical disability and neuromuscular diseases. Neuromuscular diseases are engaged in the second chapter where I first divide them by types of the disease and then I describe them in detail. In the third chapter I describe the multidisciplinary team and means of comprehensive rehabilitation system medical, social, educational and occupational. In the last chapter of the theoretical part I discuss ways of teaching support in the education process. When processing the theoretical part I use professional literature and professional journals. In empirical part I characterize the objective work, research methodology, obtained data analysis and finally, the discussion. The research was conducted by qualitative data collection using semi-standardized interview. Most respondents were approached by telephone or written request for cooperation in research. With these respondents I subsequently met in person in a specific facility. For reasons of keeping the anonymity the names of respondents and facilities are not listed in the thesis. The interviews were held in private and always by appointment except the students. The main aim was to find out not only what care options have children with neuromuscular disease and what is the special pedagogical support in education, but also how to incorporate children into the collective, what experience the educators have in integrating and how the parents look at it. These objectives are achieved. Work could be used for students who would serve as a resource. Furthermore, it could also serve for educators and parents who are related to this issue and are considering the integration of their child.
