Data were acquired by means of qualitative research, method of questioning, as well as the technique of data collection through a semi ? structured group interview. Two target data sets were chosen for the research.

The research was carried out in the framework of individual family groups of Býchory children´s care home with school in November and December 2010 and 26 children from this facility participated in this research. The second target data set were the workers of Býchory children´s care home with school. 3 schoolmistresses from this facility participated in research. The research results showed that children from Býchory children´s care home with school knew the concept of life value and understood it. Their major life values include family, followed by health, education, freedom and love. According to children, these values were influenced by their parents, but often also by their friends, or schoolmasters and schoolmistresses of Býchory children´s care home with school. This is closely associated with the children ´s assumption that their value orientation changed after their arrival to children´s care home with school. There was only a minimum amount of children, who considered important other life values than their family, health, education, freedom and love.

This work can serve as an inspiration for deeper understanding of values of children with disorders from children´s care home with school, as well as problems of their development
