Difficulties in chidren of preparatory classes with a focus on impaired communication ability
Smejkalová, Eva ; Felcmanová, Lenka (referee)
Abstract:Abstract: Communication constitutes the ability to express and share our thoughts, experiences and feelings in everyday life. Communication also plays an important role in the process of education. In education, we gather information, adopt it, learn how to work with it and continue to use it. The position of the child and the pupil with impaired communication ability is much more complicated in this case, because the difficulties in speaking are transferred to the communication process and can affect the management of school skills. Educating pupils with impaired communication skills is a challenging task. Pupils are unable to organize and express their thoughts sufficiently, their speech is often incomprehensible, they do not understand the teacher's interpretation exactly, they cannot speak fluently enough to meet a common communication standard. For these reasons, they come under psychological pressure and sometimes prefer to stop communicating completely. The main goal of the presented rigorous work is the analysis of the most common difficulties of children with impaired communication skills included in the preparatory classes of primary schools. Subsequent evaluation with a description of the most common difficulties due to school immaturity leading to school postponement are part of the...

Methods of coordinated rehabilitation provided to individuals with physical disabilities
VÁCHOVÁ, Vendula
This bachelor thesis called Methods of coordinated rehabilitation provided to individuals with physical disabilities focuses on school-age children. The thesis is divided into two parts. The theoretical part deals with the system of coordinated rehabilitation, its development and meaning. Means of rehabilitation namely remedies, educational, social and working resources with regard to their interconnection and mutual continuity are closely defined in particular subcategories. Therapeutic methods are closely specified in the subcategory regarding rehabilitation remedies. The subcategory concerning social rehabilitation resources concentrates on social services. Second chapter pinpoints physical disability, its etymology and classification. Specific types of physical disability are cerebral palsy and neuromuscular disease. The last chapter of theoretical part is devoted to methods of coordinated rehabilitation that can be used for children with physical disabilities. The research took place in Primary school and nursery school and provider of social services, Kaňka social purpose society in Tábor. The aim of the practical part was to find out the methods that this centre under the system of coordinated rehabilitation provides to its clients. Another aim was to point out whether this system works on case reports of chosen children in such facilities. Qualitative research has been chosen to fulfil the aim of this thesis. The data has been obtained primarily by the content analysis of the data. Semi structured interview with parents served as an additional method. On the basis of the content analysis of the documents three case reports of children with physical disabilities have been created. Informed consent has been acquired from the children's parents. Case reports reflect personal and family history, information in medical reports, psychological examinations and individual plans. Furthermore, attention is paid to particular means of coordinated rehabilitation that are used by the children in Kaňka centre. The research showed that notably thanks to teamwork Kaňka centre works on the basis of comprehensive (coordinated) system of rehabilitation. It is apparent from case reports that continuity of remedies, educational and social resources is good. Working resources are not crucial for this work because attention was paid on school-age children. On the other hand, Kaňka centre provides occupational therapy especially for children with physical disabilities. Occupational therapy represents a practise of daily activities and development of self-sufficiency, which closely relates to working resources of coordinated rehabilitation. Facility interconnects specialist therapies with social services and compulsory school attendance. Children are provided these therapies: physiotherapy, speech therapy, canine therapy, music therapy, art therapy and occupational therapy. As far as the children with physical disabilities are concerned they practise ordinary daily activities, develop fine and gross motor skills, improve mental health and overall wellbeing and promote a positive attitude. In terms of social resources these services are used: personal assistance, day care centre and early care. Children are educated in primary school and special school for primary education. Kaňka also provides special care nursery. Children are also offered leisure activities. Primary school and nursery school and provider of social services, Kaňka social purpose society is one of few centres in southern Bohemia region that provides complex care in the spirit of coordinated rehabilitation that is not only for children with physical disabilities.
