Architectural adjustment and accessibility of elementary schools with special programme for pupils with movement impairment

When entering their school, the movement-impaired pupils often come face to face with various obstacles, most notably architectural obstacles. In the diploma thesis, I present the research of the architectural suitability of elementary schools with special programme for movement-impaired pupils with the emphasis on the school gymnasiums and nearby rooms. The research includes 26 schools. I examined the entrance to the school, access to the gymnasium, access to the changing room and their arrangement, access to sports tools and accessories, access to outdoor playground and their arrangement, access to sanitary facilities and their adjustment and independent access to all rooms in the school. I expected that all the above mentioned rooms will be 80 % suitably arranged and accessible. The analysis has unfortunately shown that no variable achieved such percentage. The highest result was for the accessibility to sports tools and accessories (63 % are suitably accessible), the lowest result was for independent access to all school rooms (53.8 % are inaccessible). The research also includes 3 elementary schools with a special programme that had all the evaluated rooms and entries to the rooms suitably adjusted for movement-impaired pupils
