Title: Possibilities of using elements from the DNS program for children with multiple disabilities Purpose: To evaluate the effectiveness of applying exercises from the Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization concept using the DNS FIT KID exercise program in children with multiple disabilities. Methods: The following measures were used for data collection: selected tests from the MOBAK 3-4 battery for screening motor skills, Mathias test, Thomayer test, postural stability assessment (standing on one leg and walking on the line) and DNS FIT KID tests. The DNS FIT KID exercise program was implemented and applied in psychomotor games classes. Results: When comparing the input and output results, the boys showed an improvement in the measured differences. Thus, the applied exercise program DNS FIT KID was chosen in an appropriate form for pupils with multiple disabilities, which indicates a positive effect of its use in the group of children studied. KEYWORDS children with combined disabilities; children with visual impairment; spinal stabilization system; postural stability; DNS; DNS FIT KID; psychomotor games

Methods of development of fine and gross motor skills of visually impaired children.
BROŽOVÁ, Pavla
The theme of the bachelor's paper is ``Methods of development of fine and gross motor skills of visually impaired children{\crqq}. The theoretical part is aimed at clarification of the terms ``vision{\crqq}, ``development of visual perception{\crqq}, and also ``visually impaired child{\crqq}. I have further introduced there the terms ``gross and fine motor skills{\crqq}, which I defined in relation to children with visual impairment in pre-school age. The practical part of the paper is dedicated to the description of the objective of the work, research methods, and the results obtained. The objective of the research was to establish the level of development of fine and gross motor skills of visually impaired children in pre-school age, as well as of children in an ordinary nursery school. The following step was comparison of the results from both nursery schools. My hypothesis was stated as follows: ``The level of development of fine and gross motor skills of children in an ordinary nursery school is better than that of children in a nursery school for visually impaired{\crqq}. For performance of the research part of the work, I have chosen quantitative type of research, the method of controlled observation. The research took place in two nursery schools in České Budějovice. One of them was a nursery school for visually impaired children; the other was an ordinary nursery school. The total number of controlled observations performed was 200. The research set constituted of 50 children in pre-school age. The research results have shown that the development of motor skills of visually impaired children is at higher level than that of children in an ordinary nursery school. In the area of fine motor skills, significant differences between the two nursery schools have surfaced after comparison of the results. The differences in the area of gross motor skills were less marked. Consequently, my hypothesis did not prove true. The bachelor's paper in question can be used as a study material for the students of the Faculty of Health and Social Studies, as there is no publication comprehensively elaborating those issues.
