t schools for handicapped children need to observe the children and assess exactly their health conditions in order to keep the handicapped children healthy. They should also carry out the educational activities for the handicapped children. The special medical knowledge needed has been acquired by the individuals through their own efforts. The first problem the teachers have is the hesitation in deciding the treatments for children because they are not medical professionals. The second problem is their uneasiness toward the cooperation with the parents and the medical institutions. The role of the school nurse is to understand each child's health problems such as the type of handicap and illness. The school nurses seem to be in charge of health care of the children. It was suggested that the school nurse in the future should have the central role of the school for handicapped children to carry out medical care.
From the viewpoint of promoting medical care as the educational support centering the handicapped children, the following was suggested : the maintenance and improvement of organization, the enrichment of the training programs for the school teachers to apply the knowledge practically, the establishment of the cooperation system where timely advice and instruction can be obtained from medical professionals, the creation of medical care manuals including technique and method suitable for each child, and the clarification of the role of the nurse as an adviser about medical treatments.
