Thesis is composed from two parts when first theoretical part is focused on cerebral palsy as multi handicap and follow possibilities of treatment for individuals. Furthermore I am going to emphasize an importance and irreplaceability of coherent system of rehabilitation as an instrument of coordinated care. Theoretical part will be fluently followed by practical part dealing with coordinated care in the frame of Ceske Budejovice. The thesis aims to find out current state of coordinated care for children with cerebral palsy in Ceske Budejovice. In order to reach the goal of the thesis research question has been determinate by following: "How is in Ceske Budejovice complex coordinated care for children with cerebral palsy realized?" For purposes of this thesis additional questions have been determinate which importance came from research part of the thesis. Additional questions have been determinate as following: "How parents of children with cerebral palsy perceive informations from specialists regarding treatment therapy of their children?" "How parents of children with cerebral palsy evaluate coordinated care in frame of Ceske Budejovice and how do they perceive cooperation among specialists?" Part of the second part of the thesis was realization of research together with quantitative methods. Research itself was realized based on semi-standardized deep dive with parents of children with cerebral palsy. Question in semi-standardized conversation have been aligned to circles that allowed to flexibly change interpretation of specific questions based on actual needs. Child for purposes of this research has been defined as an individual between 1 to 15 year old. Considering needs to gain valid informations has the method of semi-standardized conversation been supplemented by analysis of scientific documentation of specific children. Parents with children with diagnosis of cerebral palsy have been chosen as a sample of this research. The result of this thesis are casuistries of specific children and based on that there is scheme created for better readability regarding coordinated care in frame of Ceske Budejovice. According research is coordinated care in Ceske Budejovice realized "freely" which means that it is not driven by any institution. According research second form of coordinated care is institutional. That means child is in care of some institution that provides complex coordinated care aligned with coherent system of rehabilitation. Main advantage of those institutions is their complexity. All researched children are currently in care of Arpida center despite it that this is not only one center focused on cooperated care for individual with multi handicap in Ceske Budejovice. Based on that we can say that Arpida center in Ceske Budejovice is most searched and often visited center by parents witch children with cerebral palsy. The part of results of this thesis is also evaluation of coordinated care in frame of Ceske Budejovice. At the end of this thesis I pointed out that despite the most coordinated most complex care all the time cares on individual level of disability and many other factors that directly determine how the development of an individual will be affected. Undoubtedly we can coordinated care take as imaginary index that guides an individual with this kind of disability right direction
