A total of 258 special nursery school teachers in G metropolitan city was asked to respond to a questionnaire; a total of 162 teachers responded to it. The questionnaire consisted of items addressing their perceptions about the inservice training and those addressing their needs for future inservice training. Data were analyzed using frequency analysis, cross-tabulation, t-test and F-test. The major findings were as follows. First, special nursery teachers thought that the inservice training in the instruction of preschoolers with disabilities was necessary.
