Abstract
In this research, a questionnaire survey was ad,omostered to 277 teachers who worked in childcare centers or kindergartens. The questionnaire consited of the following questions: whether they had an opportunity to contact children with impulsive and hyperactive characteristics (14 questions), how difficult dealting with the situation (14 questions), what they thought about the situation (14 questions), and how they addressed the situation (3 questions). A total of 204 teachers responded. The results showed that children with impulsive and hyperactive characteristics were commonly found in the regular childcare centers/ kindergartens and many teachers were having difficulty interacting with these children. It was also revealed that the teachers had general knowledge about disabilities but lacked the knowledge of how to deal with them.
