Balíková, Marie ; Šumníková, Pavlína (advisor) ; Kadrnožková, Monika (referee)
The Bachelor thesis deals with the possibility of using experiential pedagogy programs to mediate visual impairment to intact children in the basic elementary school. The thesis describes the issue of visual impairment, its classification and functional impacts, and the system of education of individuals with visual impairment in the Czech Republic. The paper further focuses on a detailed definition of the term experiential pedagogy, defines the concept of inclusive education and seeks an answer to the question of why to introduce intact pupils to the issue of (visual) impairment. The research to this paper focused on monitoring how the perception of visual impairment by intact pupils at the elementary school changed after being exposed to an experiential pedagogy program, which focused on the issue of visual impairment. In order to achieve the research goal, a method of a qualitative interview was used for collecting the data and the open coding method was used in the subsequent analysis. Research monitored several partial areas of perception of visual impairment (the area of emotions, the area of knowledge and the area of having a hypothetical classmate with visual impairment).

The Life Story Of A Person With Visual Impairment And His Family
KOTKOVÁ, Markéta
The present thesis deals with the subjective perception of one's own life situation and life story of an adult with visual impairment and cerebral palsy. Person is perceived in the context of his entire family, and so the accounts of other family members are also integral. The aim of this thesis is to detail the life of an adult individual through the eyes of several generations of his family. The sub-questions are a closer specification of the main research question. To achieve the aim, narrative interviews were analysed with the individual with a disability himself, his parents, grandmother, sister and niece. The narrative interviews allowed us to capture in more detail the subjective experiences of each family member. In the theoretical part, the visual impairment and cerebral palsy are briefly described. Furthermore, the thesis focuses on the specifics resulting from visual impairment in relation to the individual's personality. Another important chapter is the family with a child with a disability, which undoubtedly has a great influence on the individual. The loneliness that accompanies a person with a disability is an integral part of the overall conception of the question we have set out. Disability is part of society. Previously, or rather before 1989, this was not the case. It was not very common to meet individuals with any disability. For today's society, this fact may seem somewhat unimaginable. The thesis gives an insight into a time when the possibilities, approaches and overall view of a family with an individual with a disability were from the very beginning completely different than they are today. The results of the research investigation point to the influence of the lack of support at that time, which may have had some impact not only on the individual but also on the family's present. The data collected for this thesis can be used as teaching material for degree programs that prepare students for their future helping profession. Furthermore, they can be beneficial to families who are in similar situations.

Using ICT and modern technologies by pupils and students with visual impairment in distance education
Fajkusová, Helena ; Šumníková, Pavlína (advisor) ; Květoňová, Lea (referee)
This thesis focused on the topic of modern digital aids for students with visual impairment that can be used in education. The theoretical part deals with sub-areas, namely education of a student with visual impairment, digital technologies that can be used in the education of a student and distance learning. The author's research was conducted based on a qualitative research model using the semi-structured interview method, which was then elaborated on one area at a time. The results show that most often the pupils used standard digital devices, namely a computer, or as additional devices a tablet and a mobile phone. As far as special compensatory aids are concerned, the braille display was mentioned in particular. On the topic of reading software, NVDA and JAWS were the most talked about by interviewees with ambivalent views. In distance learning, some respondents reported difficulty navigating the online file sharing environment, but used various forms to gain information on how to operate the programs. It was reported that they obtained information on their own from websites, and some turned to parents and/or directly to teachers who were able to guide them with the help of sighted review. The final chapters also mention the positive impacts of distance learning in terms of increased interest...

The importance and possibilities of compensatory aids for children with visual impairment from parents
BLÁHOVÁ, Pavlína
Bakalářská práce se zabývá problematikou informovanosti rodičů o významu a dostupnosti kompenzačních pomůcek pro děti se zrakovým postižením. Zaměřuje se především na názory rodičů o kompenzačních pomůckách a jejich dostupnost. Dále se zabývá významem a dostupností kompenzačních pomůcek, pro kompenzaci v oblasti zrakové percepce. Bakalářská práce je rozdělena do dvou částí, a to na část teoretickou a praktickou. Teoretická část se zabývá etiologií zraku, rozdělením zrakových vad a kognitivním vývojem dítěte. Dále se zabývá kompenzačními pomůckami pro zrakově postižené a organizacemi, které jsou zaměřené na pomoc lidem s postižením zraku. Praktická, neboli výzkumná část, byla zpracována pomocí kvantitativního výzkumného šetření. Pro sběr dat bylo použito dotazníkové šetření. Dotazník byl tvořen z 16 otázek. 4 otázky z dotazníku byly otevřené a 13 otázek bylo uzavřených. Výzkumný soubor celkem tvořilo 100 vyplněných dotazníků. Tyto dotazníky vyplnili respondenti, kteří mají děti se zrakovým postižením. Z výzkumného šetření byla zjištěna informovanost rodičů o kompenzačních pomůckách a jejich dostupnost. Z výsledku výzkumu vyplývá, že je informovanost u oslovených respondentů dostačující. Dále z výsledků vyplývá, že většina respondentů nespolupracuje s níže uvedenými organizacemi. Většina respondentů dostává informace o kompenzačních pomůckách od lékaře, a ve většině případů se jedná o samoplátce.

The first chapter of the theoretical part deals with the concept of visual impairment, the most common visual defects in children, the development of the child and the child care possibilities regarding visually impaired children. In the second chapter, preschool education is specified in more detail, including legislative and curricular documents.
