Outline of Final Research Achievements

The main objective of this study was to visualize the expertise of necessary teachers for childcare of groups that include severely mentally and physically handicapped children in their interactions with other children. As a result, we were able to clarify the existence of the concept of the ability to create four types of childcare as the expertise of necessary teachers for the care of groups that include severely mentally and physically handicapped children. In particular, it was suggested that childcare with a focus on posture and motor development is a characteristic of groups that include severely physically and mentally handicapped children.
