Transition period in the life of people with intellectual disabilities: Transition planning of the transition from school to work
KASTLOVÁ, Ivana
This thesis deals with the period of transition from school to work for people with intellectual disabilities living a children's home. First of all, I devote my attention to the people with intellectual disabilities: how they get prepared for their transition from school to work; how they manage this important period and who else is involved. In the theoretical part, I deal with the definition of the terms Intellectual Disability, Transition Programme, Transition Planning and Transition Period. The final part describes the condition of subjects with intellectual disabilities before, during, and after the transition from school to work. An overview of the planned transition of people with intellectual disabilities from school to work will be a contribution to this thesis. I also intend to try to propose other forms of support that would help people with intellectual disabilities cope more easily with this difficult period at the time of their transition.
Transition period in the life of persons with intellectual disability: Transitional planning of transition from primary education to secondary education
SACHR, Jakub
The main goal of this bachelor thesis is to analyze the attitudes of individual actors in transition planning of transition period of pupils with intellectual disabilities from primary to secondary education. The research focuses on the attitude of potential actors in transition planning, how they percept their role, who enters the transition period and whether or not the transition programs or their analogies are implemented in the Czech educational system. The bachelor thesis tries to find the answers to the questions by the means of biographical research based on in-depth interviews with potential transition planning actors and the analysis of official documents. The first part describes the specifics of adolescence of people with intellectual disabilities and the problematics of the disability. It describes the concept of transition programs and its history in the world and in our country, it further explains the relationship between the inclusive concept and the transition planning and it tries to find transition planning fragments in Czech legislation. Based on the analysis of interviews provided by potential actors, transiiont planning is considered extremely important in this significant life stage. The actors define their role in the transit team, they identify other team members and they seek organizing coordinator. Although the transition program is not grounded in the Czech legislation, the results of the research show up that transition planning is in smaller scale implemented in the Czech educational system. The transition programs lack only an organizing coordinator whose existence in current conditions is random and rare and whose role is mostly ensured by school or intellectually disabled pupil's family. The contribution of the thesis is in pointing out the importance of the period of transition from primary to secondary education because this topic is neglected compared to the period of transition from school to work and independent life in general. Another contribution is the familiarization with the situation in the Czech educational system.
