DVOŘÁKOVÁ, Kateřina
The bachelor´s thesis deals with the role of a personal assistant in the education of pupils with specific educational needs in schools set under §16 par. 9 Act No. 561/2004. The main aim of this work was to analyse and describe the role of a personal assistant. The result was a starting point for two following questions. I found out how a personal assistant supports a pupil in studying and how the work of a personal assistant is rated by a personal assistant, a head of service, and a representative of school establishment. The results were achieved by studying scientific literature and qualitative research. The theoretical part of the bachelor´s thesis is focused on clarifying the concepts of a personal assistant, a teaching assistant, special educating, disability and explaining the concept of a person with special educational needs. The practical part provides information about specific organizations, in which I have done the research. The ARPIDA Centre, the Kaňka Centre, and Diakonie Rolnička. The research was conducted using qualitative strategy, and semi-structured interview method. The bachelor´s thesis can be a source of information, freely available in the academic library of the University of South Bohemia in České Budějovice. For example, for students in specialized fields, and also for general public. The bachelor´s thesis provides insight into the role of a personal assistant in the education of pupils with special educational needs. The result of the research shows that a personal assistant is an important and necessary element in the educational process of pupils with severe health or combined disabilities.

Zahradníková, Barbora ; Doubek, David (advisor) ; Voldřich, Michal (referee)
This thesis is based on analytical methods stemming from established theory and uses them to examine the issue of boundaries in helping professions.

The research data had been collected through seven interviews with personal assistants. An analysis of this data has brought results in the form of a description of a personal assistant's profession and a summary of factors that play a significant role in establishing the relationship. Out of all the discovered topics, the relationship plays the most fundamental role and it has shown to consist of several levels - proffesional, friendly, parental or sibling and sexual. Boundaries become established within these levels in various forms and degrees depending on personal, relationship or situational factors. This issue represents a complex and multilayered topic with a vast array of paradoxes and dilemmas. The respondents do not perceive boundaries as something static, unchanging or even absolutely necessary. Just like the relationship itself, the boundaries within - if present - undergo a process of development during which they...
