Practical Study on the Effect of "PANPS Consultation" (Consultation for Proactive Approaches of Nursery Teachers towards Problem Solving) for the Improvement of Behavior in Children with Special Needs :

Development and Utilization of the "Behavior Analysis and Support Form"

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine, by means of a practice case, the effects of "PANPS consultation" on childcare for children with special needs. The participants were five nursery teachers who were struggling with the challenging behavior of a 3-year-old child suspected of developmental disorder. Through the six consultation sessions that were carried out over 7 months, and by utilizing the "behavioral analysis and support form," they were able to discuss, create and implement a support plan for the child by themselves. As a result, the child developed appropriate behavior and challenging behavior was reduced. The results suggest that "PANPS consultation" promotes the acquisition of skills necessary for nursery teachers to proactively improve their nursery care for children with special needs.
