| Description | This chapter describes how high schools are prepared fo the inclusion of students with visual impairments. It focuses on the importance of school management attitudes to the inclusive education. Furthermore, it discusses the impact of school management on inclusive education. This text also describes our research of the topic of inclusion, which was carried out in cooperation with 250 heads of high schools in the East Bohemian Region. The paper summarizes the phase of a larger research project, which deals with the issue of inclusion of students with visual impairments. This paper presents some of the partial results, such as the comparison between the significance of headmaster attitudes to the hard and soft barriers (external financial resources, teaching assistants, teacher training in special education, architectural barriers, teacher collaboration, attitudes of parents and children, and legislative support for inclusive education), and the importance of the same barriers to the particular institution. This text also presents headmaster attitudes to different types of visual impairment. |
