1 ABSTRACT The bachelor's thesis focuses on the issues of development of auditory (hearing) perception in preschool children with specific language impairment from the perspective of their parents. It is a special educational topic in the field of speech and language therapy. The theoretical part of the bachelor's thesis introduces the issues of specific language impairment, auditory perception and its development. It contains knowledge of terminology, etiology, symptomatology, diagnostics and therapy of specific language impairment. It also focuses on the course of intact development of auditory perception and the consequences of its disturbance. It describes different parts of auditory perception and the possibilities of their development. The main aim of the research is to obtain information about the knowledge of parents of preschool children with specific language impairment about auditory perception, that is whether the parents' information about this issue is sufficient. To achieve the objective, a quantitative research method was used of a questionnaire survey targeting parents of children with specific language impairment. The results of the research provide information about parents' knowledge of auditory perception, and offer an insight into the ways of auditory-perception development in 135...

Future Teachers Knowledge of the Issues of Specific Language Impairment
Malá, Michaela ; Horynová, Jana (advisor) ; Klenková, Jiřina (referee)
This diploma thesis is dedicated to developmental language disorder (DLD) and particularly to studying how well future teachers are informed about DLD. The thesis is divided into two parts, theoretical and practical, both consisting of three chapters. The first chapter of the theoretical part defines developmental language disorder, and examines and presents the basic terminology. Further, the chapter describes the epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical symptoms (both verbal and non-verbal) and classification of DLD. The second chapter examines the individual components related to diagnosing DLD. The third chapter describes the therapy, prognosis and prevention of DLD, as well as the specifics related to educating persons with DLD. The applied part of the thesis presents the results of a research survey conducted as a part of the thesis. The main objective of the survey was to determine how well the (under-)graduate students majoring in teaching in kindergartens and primary schools are informed about DLD in the course of their studies. The information was collected through surveys spread among the respondents. The collected data are processed and analyzed, the results are presented in the form of graphs and tables. Based on the data collected, the relevant hypotheses are tested. Another goal of the...

Parenting in the context of DLD - Parental experience in connection with difficulties of the child
HABRDOVÁ, Kateřina
The dissertation focuses on the psychosocial impact of developmental language disorder on a family and particularly parental life, namely the quality of parental life. In six chapters the theoretical part of the thesis presents the current view of specific language impaiment (developmental language disorder, DLD), its diagnostics and the therapy for it, as well as the system of support for children with DLD in the Czech Republic and the issue of parenting of a speech handicapped child. The goals of the empirical part were to give a description of the parental hardships caused by DLD in a child, identify the affected life dimensions, define ways of providing effective support for these parents and describe its impact on the parents' competencies, experience and ways of coping. Qualitative methods have been used in the empirical part of the thesis. The exploratory set for the study was made up of 25 parents (6 fathers and 19 mothers) from 20 families. A family's inclusion in the research was conditioned upon a diagnosis of DLD in at least one child of the family by a qualified specialist. The ages of the children ranged from 3 to 13 years, and school age children and preschoolers were represented roughly evenly. The parents were interviewed via semistructered in-depth interviews. They were given a questionnaire created by the author that was to show the characteristics of the participants and their families. Some of the participants also filled in a brief diary chart. The data obtained through the semistructured interviews have been processed though ATLAS.ti software and transformed into a grounded theory. The research has shown the complexity of the hardships experienced by parents and families when they have a child with DLD. The hardships experienced by these parents are in most aspects comparable to those experienced by parents of children with more serious handicaps, though their features dynamically change according to the child's age and the progress of his/her symptoms. During preschool age the main problems are the child's speech difficulties and various aspects of caring for the child. On the other hand the development of specific learning and behaviour disabilities and socialization disorders is the dominant problem when the child reaches school age. Further the research has shown the crucial role of providing support to parents of DLD children as a way to prevent failures in the parenting of such children. Four types of support provision have been identified based on different levels of expertise and the personal contact between the provider and the person receiving the support. Expertise, awareness, individual characteristics and the support provision system were identified as the intervening variables. The main characteristics of effective support provision were found to be orientation, the time-aspect, accessibility and communication. The consequences of support provision for parental coping suggest the importance of combining different support types and the significance of parent-provider dynamics. In the parental coping strategies five types of strategies have been identified in accordance with parental activity and the impact of the support.

Possibilities of acquiring of reading with comprehension in children with specific language impairment
Vopavová, Natálie ; Horynová, Jana (advisor) ; Klenková, Jiřina (referee)
The topic of the thesis is the development of the reading comprehension in children with specific language impairment and its possibilities. For the purposes of this thesis, worksheets were created through which the development of the area could be implemented. The diploma thesis is divided into four chapters. Three chapters represent the theoretical part, the fourth chapter is empirical. In the first theoretical chapter, knowledge about specific language impairment (causes, symptomatology, diagnosis and therapy) is written. Similarly, specific learning disabilities are described in the second chapter. The third theoretical chapter approaches the issue of reading comprehension development. It is focused on the development of pre-reading literacy, the possibility of teaching initial reading and writing, and the development of functional literacy. The fourth empirical part of the thesis presents a qualitative research investigation, which was carried out using case studies and semi-structured interviews with teachers. At the end of the practical part, the results of the research investigation are summarized and recommendations for working with the created worksheets are presented.

Expressive vocabulary of selected parts of speech in children of preschool age
Větrovská Zemánková, Alžběta ; Klenková, Jiřina (advisor) ; Komorná, Marie (referee)
Abstact This thesis relates to logopedic theme. It is focused on the issue of expressive vocabulary in preschool age. The main goal is an analysis of this area in children with specific language impairment and in intact children. In the research survey the analysis of the expressive vocabulary is carried out by using a test which was created for this intent. The test contains three subtests focused on different parts of speech. These are nouns, verbs and adjectives. With this test the evaluation of a range of expressive vocabulary and quality of expression is possible. The resulting data show that within the quality of expresion there is a greater difference between proband groups than in the range of expressive vocabulary. The thesis also describes in detail the differences in range of expressive vocabulary depending on individual parts of speech and on ways of inquiring about test entries which are different in individual parts of subtests. The research also includes the analysis of influence of a few chosen social aspects on range of expressive vocabulary and on quality of expression. In the group of intact probands the length of preschool education and number of siblings seems to be a statistically significant factor in relation to the range of expressive vocabulary. The quality of expression correlated...

Understanding sentences in Czech children at risk for dyslexia and SLI
Bláhová, Veronika ; Kucharská, Anna (advisor) ; Špačková, Klára (referee)
The aim of this thesis was to evaluate the level of comprehension of czech sentences with a different syntactic complexity in children with specific language impairment (SLI) and children at family risk for dyslexia (experimental groups) compared to typically developing peers (control group). Statistically significant differences were proven both between the SLI group and the family risk group and between the SLI group and control group. The assumed descending tendency of achievement in the test blocks was not substantiated.

The early literacy development and its variability in children at risk of dyslexia: The prediction models of literacy deficits.
Medřická, Tereza ; Kucharská, Anna (advisor) ; Špačková, Klára (referee) ; Bytešníková, Ilona (referee)
In the context of both projects Enhancing literacy development in European languages, work package 2 and The early literacy development and its variability in children at risk of specific learning disabilities, we monitored child development of literacy in preschool age and during the first years of school attendance in a four-stage process. The research group (n = 76) compound of typically developing children (BV = 37), children with the family risk of dyslexia (RR = 22) and children with specific language impairment (NVŘ = 17). We evaluated development of phonemic/phonological, lexical/semantic and morphological/syntactic skills, preliteracy skills and early literacy skills. The last fifth test stage included the assessment of literacy development in 3rd graders. First, a group of children with literacy deficits (n = 9) was identified via the latent profile analysis method. Subsequently, four predictive models of literacy deficits for each stage were created by means of lasso or L-1 penalized regression method. Predictive models follows the trend that until literacy skills are fully automatized (preschool age and the 1st grade), phonemic and phonological skills predominate, but later - after the formal learning to read and write proceeds - early literacy skills are becoming more and more...
