Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the itinerant consultation service for nursery teachers to enhance their efficacy of childcare of children with special needs. The 12 people staff have developed a consultation system for proactive approaches of nursery teachers towards problem solving, and practiced itinerant consultation to 24 place nursery. According to the survey, efficacy of childcare for children with special needs of nursery teachers who participated in the consultation has been improved significantly after the itinerant consultation. Consciousness of nursery teachers was transformed into protagonist of childcare from reliance on experts. In addition, "behavioral analysis and support form" could help proactive approaches of nursery teachers and became a tool that can contribute to the creation of nursery's support systems for childcare of children with special needs.
