Abstract

This study analyzed a clinical-developmental consultation service (Hamatani, 2005), which was provided to kindergartens in a Japanese city. The purpose of the study was to specify the functions and structure of support in consultation. Support functions for kindergartens were compared to those for nursery daycare facilities, in reference to studies of itinerant consultation. In Study 1, the following five support functions were extracted by factor analysis of the evaluations of consultations by kindergarten teachers (N=110): 'teaching method and plan,' 'encouragement, understanding the child,' 'understanding parents,' and 'collaboration.' Study 2 consisted of a group interview with teachers and the principal about a typical consultation case. It was suggested that 'encouragement' through 'understanding the child' and 'collaboration' were the core functions of support structure in itinerant consultation.
