| Description | The society currently is very responsible in its approach to the integration of people with disabilities, whether in the form of providing services, improving mobility in public areas and the creation of jobs. A person with disabilities using a wheelchair has the opportunity to attend many public places, events and institutions for improving personal social life. In contrast, however, victimization and vulnerability is higher for people with disabilities. This fact inevitably results in a specificity and difficulties in a sel–defence situation. The aim of this paper is to inform about the project of the Faculty of Sport Studies „Evaluation of methodology of self – defence for people with physical disability using wheelchair“, number ROZV/20/FSpS/05/2015. The methodology is based on theory of conflict, and it is focused on the initial stages of conflict resolution (i.e. pre conflict phase and verbal communication). Methodology and course are integrally balanced by theoretical training and practical exercises and it is focused on the person using mechanical wheelchair. Evaluation is carried out in two phases. There is a questionnaire before and after the course of self – defence, and model mugging (scenario training) which is recorded and the video is subjected to expert analysis. The main objective of the project is therefore a thorough analysis of the needs of the people with a physically disability using a wheelchair in relation to the conflict situation and their subsequent satisfaction during the course. |
