Typhlopaedic practice and its influence on leisure time activities in persons with impaired vision
TLAPOVÁ, Jitka
My thesis gives a brief insight both into the history and the present-day approach to people with impaired vision (diminished eyesight). I describe troubles caused by the vision impairment, the Early Care Center, possibilities of verbal and nonverbal communication of visually impaired persons with other people, guidance and reading services and some low vision aids, including guide dogs. The thesis focuses on visually impaired persons´ leisure time spending. I am concerned mainly about sport and cultural activities of persons with impaired vision. Specific kinds of sports suitable for these persons are presented in this study. I also mention the experience of intuitive drawing and the possibility to employ this activity in persons´ with impaired vision leisure time spending. This activity proved to work well in the primary school and kindergarten for visually disadvantaged (impaired) children in Plzeň. I also deal with computer usage as a leisure time activity. The objective of my thesis was to compare persons´ with impaired vision and persons´ with no visual impairment opinions on the life of persons´ with impaired vision. The data collected by the questionnaire method were analyzed and discussed. The conclusions of my thesis could be used as information resource for TyphloCenters to provide education on the need of a regardful approach to persons with impaired vision.
