Šulcová, Kateřina ; Hájková, Vanda (advisor) ; Šumníková, Pavlína (referee)
This master's thesis is focused on the Snoezelen concept used for patients with physical or multiple disabilities. The Snoezelen concept can be applied as a therapy, an auxiliary educational method or possibility to spend free time in various facilities like schools, school facilities, rehabilitation centers or retirement homes. For that reason, Snoezelen concept can be used by many clients and professionals. However, it is mostly used for patients with mental deficiency; that is reflected in the majority of researches. Therefore, patients with physical and combined deficiency were chosen for purpose of this Master's thesis as this issue has not been yet examined enough. The Master's thesis aim is to gather relevant information of the Snoezelen concept and to make quantitative research with a questionnaire that determines rate of using the concept, awareness level and attitude of clients with physical and multiple disabilities, their representatives and professionals. From these data, a summary is created for that issue. A very low awareness level was found in clients with physical and multiple disabilities, their representatives and professionals. Therefore an information leaflet was created and is provided at the end of the Master's thesis. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)
