Portanto, além da necessidade de que a criança estabeleça comunicação, condições devem ser criadas para que a linguagem se desenvolva. Isso dependerá da forma como for organizado o ambiente de aprendizagem e interação, a situação e a maneira de interagir. A pesquisa tem como objetivo levantar as expectativas de aprendizagem e estratégias pedagógicas assumidas pelos profissionais da Educação (professores) da rede regular de ensino e da rede especial que atuam com sujeitos com deficiência múltipla, entendida, neste contexto de pesquisa, como o conjunto de duas ou mais deficiências associadas, de ordem física, sensorial, mental, emocional ou de comportamento social. Trata-se de pesquisa de abordagem qualitativa aprovada pelo Comitê de Ética. O material analisado é parte da coleta de informações realizada a partir de um questionário aplicado pelo pesquisador com cinco (5) professores que atuam com alunos com deficiência múltipla em Centros de Educação Especializados da região de Campinas e com quatro (4) professores que têm sujeitos com deficiência múltipla incluídos na sala de aula regular / Abstract: Schools encourage the development of language but disabled students need to find ways to participate in school content and context. Therefore, in addition to the need of establishing communication, one must create conditions that promote the development of language. This will depend on how the learning and interaction environment is organized, and the interacting situation and manner. This study will investigate the learning expectations education professionals (teachers) of regular and special schools have and the pedagogical strategies they use. Special schools work with individuals with multiple disabilities, defined herein as the combination of two or more associated disabilities, which may be physical, sensory, mental or emotional disability, or social maladjustment. This qualitative study was approved by the local Research Ethics Committee. The study material is part of the information collected by the administration of a questionnaire by the researcher to five (5) teachers of multiply disabled students attending special education centers in the region of Campinas and four (4) teachers of multiply disabled students attending regular classes / Mestrado / Interdisciplinaridade e Reabilitação / Mestra em Saúde, Interdisciplinaridade e Reabilitação

This thesis concerns the issue of a family with a child with combined disability. It maps stories of three families which have disabled children like this. In particular, it is about Angelman syndrome, Down syndrome and poliomyelitis. The theoretical part deals with combined disability, specifics of families with a disabled child and social services. Within the chapter combined disability, there is a summary of the most important facts about diagnoses relating to the practical part, which means Angelman syndrome, Down syndrome and poliomyelitis. Therefore, the thesis is further focused on the area of social services which proceed from valid legislation. The practical part of the thesis is based on interviews with respondents belonging to families with a child with combined disability. The perception of individual life events of the families is very subjective and influenced by a whole range of circumstances. Therefore, especially the individual records of interviews are interesting. Furthermore, social services provided to families with a child with combined disability are mapped there, together with some basic information about them. The elaborated issue offers an infinite amount of further usage possibilities and it can be followed in the field of deepening and extension for family members, as...

The present paper thematizes the complex care for children with multiple disability whitin the educating proces.

The practical part maps sklills of the children with multiple disability within these key areas.

The thesis entitled "Stimulation of people with physical and multiple disabilities - using the TheraSuit Method" focuses on the using of different stimulation methods in the care of people with physical and multiple disabilities and is aimed in particular mentioned method TheraSuit and its modifications (Klim-Therapy) whose main element is a special support suit. In the Czech Republic, this method has been used for relatively short time. It is a little widespread, especially due to financial demands. The clients have to pay the therapy almost themselves. Therefore, the thesis aims to gather available information about the method using special support suit. Another objective is to obtain a quantitative overview of the research on the awareness and attitudes of adult clients of selected institutions for people with physical and multiple disabilities, their parents of children with physical and multiple disabilities and staff who work with these people, to discuss methods and new methods of stimulation at all. The thesis also focuses on other stimulation methods used in selected institutions providing services to peoples with physical and multiple disabilities.

This thesis focuses on functional assessments, visual stimulation and on offers of Centres for Early Intervention that provide services in the area of visual perception for children in early and preschool age. The goal of the thesis is to analyze interviews with workers in these centres on options and services in the area of visual aid that these centres provide for families and their children with disabilities. The first four chapters deal with theoretical background in the area of functional assessments of vision, visual stimulation and description of the group of children in early and preschool age with visual and multiple disabilities. Last but not least, these chapters also deal with organizations that provide early intervention services, their structure, composition of personnel and range of offered services. The content of the fifth chapter is a qualitative research investigation. The data were collected through interviews with instructors of visual stimulation and with an early intervention assistant. Analysis of these interviews then became basis for the subsequent definition of commendable suggestions for good practise.

Uma combinação do tratamento cognitivo tradicional e métodos baseados em realidade virtual pode oferecer uma abordagem efetiva, segura e interativa ao tratamento de indivíduos com deficiências. Baseado nisso, um método computacional foi proposto para desenvolver um sistema de realidade virtual para auxiliar no desenvolvimento cognitivo e da coordenação motora grossa dessas pessoas, de modo que as tornem mais autônomas e capazes de fazer tarefas diárias, melhorando a participação na comunidade, assim como a inclusão social, a partir da simulação e treinamento de tarefas comuns que as pessoas geralmente executam diariamente. Uma das principais preocupações deste trabalho foi desenvolver com o custo mais baixo possível, utilizando dispositivos padrões e acessíveis _a maioria das pessoas. Além disso, uma manipulação baseada na mão feita com marcadores de realidade aumentada foi proposta, para proporcionar uma experiência do mundo real, pois, considerando as dificuldades cognitivas e motoras dos participantes, uma interação feita com suas próprias mãos seria mais fácil, mais intuitiva e efetiva para as pessoas com deficiências. Os resultados dos experimentos demonstraram a eficácia e viabilidade do uso de tecnologias de realidade virtual para o treinamento cognitivo e motor de pessoas com deficiência intelectual e múltipla, mostrando que os participantes conseguiram executar a tarefa 40% mais rápidos em media no estudo de caso 1, que basicamente _e um simulador onde o participante deve fazer compras em um mercado, e também mostrando uma melhora de 41% em relação aos erros cometidos no estudo de caso 2, no qual o paciente deve passar por uma série de desafios que treinam sua coordenação motora grossa e equilíbrio. Baseado na análise dos dados feita após a intervenção e também baseado na observação da fisioterapeuta, foi possível provar que métodos baseados em realidade virtual podem ser eficazes no desenvolvimento de habilidades cognitivas e motoras de pessoas com deficiência intelectual. / Virtual Reality has countless potential applications for the treatment and development of people with intellectual and multiple disabilities. A combination of traditional cognitive treatment and virtual reality-based methods can offer an effective, safe and interactive approach to the treatment of individuals with disabilities. Based on that, a computational method was proposed to develop a virtual reality system for supporting the cognitive and gross motor coordination development of those people, in a way that makes them more autonomous and able to do daily tasks, so improving their community participation, hence their social inclusion, by simulating and training common tasks people usually do on a daily basis. One of the main concerns of this work was to develop a low cost system, using standard and accessible devices. Furthermore, a hand-based manipulation made by augmented reality markers into the virtual reality environment was proposed, for providing a real-world experience, because, considering the cognitive and motor impairments of the participants, an interaction performed with their own hand would be easier, more intuitive and effective. The results of the experiments demonstrated the effectiveness and feasibility of using virtual reality technologies for the cognitive and motor coordination training of people with intellectual and multiple disabilities, showing that the participants were able to do the task 40% faster on average in the case study 1, which is basically a simulator where the participant should going shopping in a supermarket, and also showing an improvement of 41% related to the mistakes made in the case study 2, in which the patient must to go through a series of challenges that train the gross motor coordination and body balance. Based on the data analysis done after the intervention and also based on the physiotherapist's observation, it was possible to prove that virtual reality-based method can be effective in the cognitive and motor skills development of people with intellectual disabilities.

Employing people with physical and multiple disability from the employer{\crq}s point of view I chose the subject of this thesis because I work for o.s. Asistence as a work counselor within the framework of a transit program and one of my duties is to help people with physical and multiple disability find a job as well as establish contact with employers. People with health disability are among social groups most threatened by unemployment. They make up about 13% of the level of unemployment which is increasing. There are surely many reasons for such a high level of unemployment among people with health and multiple disability. Among them we may rank insufficient coverage of services supporting this social group in the process of seeking work, next a low number of vacancies and finally the lack of experience of employers with employing people with a health disability. A number of people with physical and multiple disability would very much like to be employed in the regular labour market. There are also employers who would very much like to employ such a person, but they do not know how to find a new employ or who to contact as well as how does the whole process of employing disabled people work. One of the services dedicated to this social problem that seems quite promising is the supported employment. The aims of this thesis were various. Partly to describe the process of employing people with physical and multiple disabilities from the employer{\crq}s viewpoint. Then to describe in what way employers need to be supported when employing people with physical and multiple disabilities. The final aim was to describe the motivation of current employers to employ people with a health disability. The first part of this work deals with the characteristics of people with physical and multiple disability, with their rights, the relation of the society regarding the employment of these people and legal aspects applied to employing people with health disability. I also described the services that are provided to employers employing people with physical and multiple disabilities by agencies of supported employment. I also mentioned Corporate Social Responsibility and its usage in the social area. The research itself was carried out in collaboration with o.s. Asistence. The group on which the research was carried out was made up by five employers employing people with physical and multiple disability and by five counselors from o.s. Asistence. The data were collected by means of a semi-structured interview. The interview itself focused on the motivation of the employers to employ people with health disability and the legislation pertinent to the discussed problem. The interview with the counselors regarded similar topics with regard as to how do they participate in the process themselves. This work may be a source of information for current or potential employers of people with physical or multiple disability. At the same time it may be of use to people providing services to this social group by helping them in finding a job.
