Comprehensive rehabilitation of children attending primary school and kindergarten in Motýlek Koprivnice, p.o.
MÜLLEROVÁ, Tereza
The aim of the theoretical part of this thesis is to describe the comprehensive system of rehabilitation for persons with disabilities. Individual sections are devoted to medical, educational, social and professional means of a comprehensive rehabilitation with regard to the importance of their interconnections. I also focus on the issue of families with disabled children and their needs at different life stages. In this context, I give an account of possibilities of the educational process for children with disabilities from early childhood until adulthood. In our region ? in Kopřivnice and surroundings, there is currently no facility providing complex care to children with disabilities in terms of comprehensive rehabilitation. Individual components of a comprehensive rehabilitation system are provided by various subjects - medical facilities, schools and school counseling facilities, social service providers. The aim of my research thesis was to survey the offer of facilities for children with disabilities and their families and to determine whether the offer meets the needs of parents of children with disabilities who attend the primary school or kindergarten Motýlek Kopřivnice, p.o. To meet the goals I chose a qualitative research methodology, using the secondary data analysis technique, and an interview method, when the technique used was a semi-structured interview. The interview was conducted with 8 respondents - parents of children with disabilities who attend the primary school and kindergarten Motýlek Kopřivnice, p.o. The results of the research show that in and around Kopřivnice parents of these children have the possibility to make use of existing facilities for the comprehensive rehabilitation. At present, however, there is a lack of medical rehabilitation, which used to be provided to children directly at school, as well as the possibility of extra-curricular activities for children and personal assistance services. This bachelor thesis may be used in practice as a background material for planning the comprehensive service development for children and adults with disabilities in and around Kopřivnice.

Mentally Disabled Pupils in Special Basic Schools and Their Perspectives
JURÁKOVÁ, Bohuslava
In my Bachelor´s work I have tried to find out what perspectives there are for mentally disabled pupils after finishing compulsory education at special basic schools and if there are enough opportunities for their further education. The theoretical part describes a mentally disabled child and the levels of mental disorders. I deal with the education of mentally handicapped pupils, special schools and the school legislation. The last section analyses opportunities for further education of mentally disabled pupils after finishing special basic schools. The practical part of the Bachelor´s work has been done on the basis of quantitative research realised in 16 special basic schools in South Bohemia. Thirteen headmasters (81%) and 97 parents of mentally handicapped pupils (81%) were engaged. All the data and information necessary for the research were gained from October 2008 to January 2009. I used questionnaires of structured, semi-structured and open-ended questions and a secondary data analysis. The first aim of the research was to find out how much the parents of mentally disabled pupils are interested in futher education of their children. The second aim was focused on educational opportunities in one- and two-year practical schools and how available they are for these pupils. Thanks to the questionnaire findings I succeeded in getting all important information and fulfil both aims stated at the beginning. The aim served as a base of two hypotheses. Hypothesis 1: The parents of special school pupils are interested in their further education. Hypohesis 2: Pupils finishing special basic schools are offered enough opportunities for further education in one- and two-year practical schools. After evaluating all data I have found that Hypothesis 1 was proved because 81% of parents of mentally disabled pupils are interested in further education for their children after finishing their compulsory education. Hypothesis 2 expected that pupils after finishing special basic schools had enough opportunities for further education. The research, however, showed that there were significant obstacles, e.g. children´s handicap (38%), shortage of financial means (28%), school distance (23%), parents´ uninterest and others (11%), for example a stay out of the family, difficulties in commuting to school and uninterest in further education. It means that hypothesis 2 was disproved. The work could become a valuable source of information for parents of mentally disabled children. The findings can be used as an information material for special pedagogists and may serve as a feedback to the schools and their founders. My Bachelor´s work brought some new knowledge to me and it was very interesting and instructive at the same time.
