ČECHOVÁ, Kateřina
This diploma thesis deals with the topic regarding communication problems between teachers and parents of children with Specific developmental disorders of scholastic skills and Hyperkinetic Disorder at a particular elementary school. The aim of the thesis is to examine both inefficient and efficient processes in communication between a teacher and a parent of a child with specific learning and behavioral disabilities and to create an outline of a set of steps to achieve effective communication. Another goal is to determine the influence of the teacher's inclusive setting on the willingness to solve problems. The thesis is divided into a theoretical and a practical part. The theoretical part deals with the characteristics and etiology of specific learning and behavioral disorders. The classification of these disorders is included. On top of that, the theoretical part focuses on cooperation and communication between the family and the school. The communication errors and barriers as well as effective approaches are described. The less common or alternative means of cooperation are discussed as well. The practical part focuses on analyzing the collected data and summarizing the research results. Qualitative research was chosen to fulfill the goal. Two variants of semi-structured interviews were created for the data collection - for class teachers and for parents of children with specific learning and behavioral disabilities. The results of the research indicate that the key factor responsible for functional communication is setting up a system of cooperation between all involved. Mutual willingness to cooperate, sufficient feedback, equal approach, interest and effort are all important. The teacher's attitude towards a child with specific learning or behavioral disabilities, which is perceived by the parents as a complete contradiction and is often dominated by significant dissatisfaction, plays a significant role. The problem of different opinions of the school and the school counseling facility on working with children with specific learning and behavioral disabilities arose from the research. From the parents'point of view it often appears that the school does not sufficiently implement the support measures. Some negative aspects related to the school as a whole, not to specific respondents.
