Counselling for People with Visual Impairment in the Czech Republic

Original language description

The Czech Republic has a complex of services designed for people with visual impairment divided among several state departments. As part of the contribution, we would like to focus primarily on introducing these services, their specifics, and target groups. Because the continuity and, above all, the interdependence of services is one of the key benefits that can be enjoyed by people with visual disabilities as well as by their family members, educators, teachers or experts themselves. In the next part of the paper, we will focus on presenting the practical experience of the authors with research and research in the given areas, which authors collected during their active work in this field. Both authors work at the Institute of Special Pedagogical Studies of the Pedagogical Faculty of Palacký University Olomouc, but they also rely on their interests in practice – visual therapist, instructor of spatial orientation and independent movement, etc. Both theoretical and practical part of the paper will, therefore, focus on the effect of a visual therapist, as part of medical care for people with severe visual impairment, as well as to the action centres of early intervention, as part of social services for persons with visual disabilities and their family members may be provided. These two basic and relatively new areas will be accompanied by presentation in the school system and services provided in it, as well as the presentation of services provided by non-profit and non-governmental organisations. The paper was realized with the support of the internal grant project IGA_PdF_2018_008, and the project Development of independent movement through tactile-auditory aids, Nr. TL01000507, supported by the Technology Agency of the Czech Republic
