Title: Integration of a student with severe physical disability with special focus on physical education Objectives: The aim of this thesis is using a case study to point out possibilities of integration of a student with severe physical disability, specifically phocomelia, into Physical education. Methods: Due to the uniqueness of the issue, a casuistry or a case study was chosen. Interviews, documentation analysis, questionnaires and observation were used for a data acquisition. Results: Results imply that a partial integration of a student with phocomelia is possible. It is always necessary to know the specifics of a physical disability. The output of our research represent lessons that the student with phocomelia took part in. Consequently, we found peer-tutoring, modified contents of education and a paralel individual education as a beneficial practice. These principles of adapted physical education had an effect of the student's cooperation with the class. They gave support to his empowerment as well. We also extended the student's experience with various physical activities that can variegate his free time activities.

ROMOVÁ, Eliška
This bachelor thesis deals with a special education teacher?s role in inclusive education of children (pupils, students) with special eduacational needs in the ordinary school. The aim of this thesis was to focus on the role of a special education teacher in inclusive education. It explains and emphasize the importance of this profession. The theoretical framework defines the concept of integration and inclusion. It describes the history of integration and its existence in documents. The process of inclusive education is analyzed with respect to different special needs. Educational consultancy facilities and consulting services for individuals with disabilities are also mentioned. The practical part investigates teacher?s activities and responsibilities in inclusive education. The method of participant observation and structured interviews with teachers and parents of integrated children (pupils) were used. Special Education Centre and Pedagogical-Psychological Counselling were contacted. Two nursery schools and an elementary school were visited by the author of this thesis (along with special teachers). Children with different dissabilities were observed. Finally, the thesis presents the research results: A great importance of a special teacher?s role in inclusive education is blatantly obvious. Positive relationships among a special teacher, a child, a teacher and child?s parents are essential. A comprehensive approach to an integrated child is apparent: a special teacher is a kind of mediator during an integration. He informs and presents the process and procedure of all activities to teachers and teaching assistants. Therefore, his profession is extremely important and almost indispensable. The thesis can contribute to all the students who are interested in this issue. It can also help the schools with inclusive education. Last, but not least, parents of children with special educational needs (SEN) find many answers for their questions here.
