The main aim of the thesis is to survey the preparedness of ski instructors for working with children with four selected types of disabilities (visual or hearing impairment, mental disability and autism spectrum disorder). The thesis is divided into a theoretical and a practical part. The theoretical part consists of four chapters, which deal with an inclusion, leisure, physical activities of children with a disability and a ski instructor. The practical part is focused on getting specific data about the issue. To fulfill the main aim is used quantitative research and the research method is a questionnaire survey which is intended for the ski instructors. The questionnaire survey shows that the ski instructors are willing to work with children with four selected types of disabilities, but their preparedness isn't on the sufficient level. Several possible solutions for improving this situation are stated in the discussion.

Ethical reflection of social worker's work with carers of children with disabilities
NĚMCOVÁ, Nicol
The thesis entitled Ethical reflection of social worker's work with carers of children with disabilities looks into the mutual cooperation and interaction of both persons when working to help a child with disabilities in social services. A carer is usually a parent or other legal guardian who cares for and looks after a person with a disability or disadvantage. From my experience as a social worker, working with caring persons is sometimes challenging and I would therefore like to map the attitudes of both persons through interviews in which I will identify their needs either for themselves, towards the organisation or towards the person they are working with. I would like to find out specific things, how to help the carers more, how to understand them and how to set up together the best possible functioning of the child in the social service.

A family caring for an adult child with a mental disability
KOUBKOVÁ, Anna
This bachelor thesis is focused on the problematics of families who raised and are caring for an adult child with a mental disability. This work aims to lay out how parents look at the situations in their family, in what aspect their lives are either limited or enriched, whether they perceive any changes in the methods of care for their offspring and how they reflect at them. The work also focuses on the resources from which the parents draw strength to overcome the difficulties tied to raising of their offspring, and the support they receive. The theoretical part describes the categorization of people with a mental disability and how the mental disability of a child influences the situation of the family. Furthermore, it establishes the meaning of core terms used throughout the work. Qualitative research has been conducted, and it consists of forms of half-structured dialogues with six parents (out of four families) who are taking care of an adult person with a mental disability. Many changes and limitations have been found in families due to the presence of a child with a disability. Parents perceive several negatives associated with caring for a disabled child, which directly result from the nature of the disability, as well as some benefits. The presence of a mentally handicapped child was not found to affect the parents' partnership. Furthermore, it was found that an important factor for coping with difficult situations resulting from care is the support of various types that parents receive and that parents cope with difficult situations in specific ways. Research shows that parents are very worried about their child's future.

The Integration of a Child with Disabilities into the Rover Group of Junak - Czech Scouting Organisation
HALÍKOVÁ, Kateřina
The bachelor thesis deals with the integration of a child with disabilities into the Rover group of the Junak - Czech Scout organisation. Based on a quantitative survey with the questionnaire technique, it finds and presents the views of rovers and rangers on the integration of a child with disabilities into the Rover group of the organisation Junak - Czech Scout, z.s.. It examines and records their views, as well as their awareness of how the organisation deals with this issue. Research has shown that most respondents do not have awareness of how the organisation Junak - Czech Scout, z.s. supports leaders, which Rover group is attended by a child with disabilities. Likewise, most of the rovers and rangers surveyed do not know what the department Skauting pro všechny (SpV) is doing. We know from the testing and verification of hypotheses that the awareness of the SpV department is dependent on passing the leadership Exam. These results show that at leadership courses, the topic of supporting Junák in integrating children with disabilities into the organisation is discussed. My recommendation is to include information on the activities of the SpV department and support from Junak in education already at previous courses. From the opinions of rovers and rangers, we can say that most rovers and rangers agree or rather agree with the inclusion of a child with a disability in the Junak - Czech Scout. Respondents' views on the inclusion of a child with disabilities directly into their Rover group vary according to the type of disability. For all of these types, except for intellectual disability, an absolute majority of respondents agreed to the possibility of inclusion.

NĚMEČKOVÁ, Klaudie
Any kind of illness or disability has influence on the whole family, not just on individual. The whole situation,values, norms and the lifestyle of the family members changes. Taking care of disable child is usually exhausting physically and psychically. There could be feeling of guilt, emotional trauma and questions -"Why is my child disabled?". It is individual how would each family member accept this fact. If it is long-term there could be psychosomatical problems. That's why it is very important to take care our mind, so that's how we can stay positive. The bachelor thesis deals with the difficulty of taking care of disabled child and let people know more about it. It should alert about psychical, somatical and psychosomatical problems, which could appear at parents or siblings, who are often left out and have to help their brother or sister. The next task is to find out the options of family psychohygiene and how could we help when the psychosomatic problems appear. The next task is connected with social workers, who cooperate with the disabled families. I would like to find out how difficult is to work with this families and describe how to help and proceed the prevention. The theoretical part deals with families, disability, beginning of psychosomatical problems, options of prevention and how to solve them. The empirical part presents acquired data, summary and answers on research questions. The research was qualitative, data were acquired while interview, the method of data processing was qualitative content analysis. The results show that it was very traumatical for parents to accept the fact about their child diagnosis. The health of family members was affected due to the exhausting care. Parents often perceive the negative approach to their-selves. They don't have enough information about the disability and other help. This bachelor thesis could be useful for society and familes as a source of information. It could help doctors and social workers as well. It could show them that taking care of these children is very difficult and the emotional part should't be forgotten. Society, doctors and social workes should think about parents as very important people. To live in these conditions is not easy and it is necessary to have time for their-selves.

The Specifics of the Fire Sport for Children with Disabilities
STEINBAUEROVÁ, Dagmar
The bachelor thesis deals with the possibilities of integration and attitude of the youth fire sport team leaders towards integration of children with disabilities into this leisure time activity. It also answers the question whether individual disciplines of fire sport can be adapted for children with disabilities. Nowadays, when integration of children with disabilities into the educational process and society is ongoing it is important not to forget about their leisure time. The thesis is divided in the theoretical and research part. The theoretical part defines a difference between integration and inclusion and provides also an explanation of what is leisure time. Furthermore, it deals with possible sports activities of children with disabilities and explains what fire sport is. The mixed type of research is used in the research part. By means of the first, qualitative type of research, secondary data analysis, a possibility of adjusting of all fire sport disciplines for children with disabilities is confirmed. Using the second, quantitative type of research, i.e. a technique of a questionnaire, confirms that the relationship of leading young firefighters to children with disabilities is mostly positive. Most fire brigade leaders are willing to accept a child with any disability in their team, but provided that such child will not participate in the competitions. In the case of participation of children with disabilities in competitions, a smaller majority of young firefighter leaders are willing to include in their team most often children with ADHD, hearing and physical disabilities. Some, but their number is low, are willing to accept also children with visual and mental disabilities. Based on the findings of this research, it would be appropriate to continue to develop a methodology of work for children with disabilities in fire sport.
