Predškolsko inkluzivno vaspitanje i obrazovanje se suočava sa teškoćama u primeni i realizaciji individualnih obrazovnih planova u predškolskim ustanovama. Jedan od razloga je i nedovoljna stručna osposobljenost vaspitača. Ovo istraživanje imalo je za cilj da identifikuje potrebe vaspitača za podrškom u realizaciji inkluzivnog obrazovanja i utvrdi teškoće u primeni i realizaciji individualnih obrazovnih planova u predškolskim ustanovama. Identifikacija potreba vaspitača za podrškom u realizaciji inkluzivnog vaspitanja i obrazovanja, ukazuje na dominirajuće teškoće sa kojima se vaspitači sreću u radu sa decom sa posebnim potrebama, poput uočavanja oblasti neophodne podrške detetu sa posebnim potrebama, odabira aktivnosti i prilagođavanja aktivnosti za dete sa posebnim potrebama, izrade i realizacije individualnih obrazovnih programa, itd., čime se naglašava važnost defektološkog rada u predškolskim ustanovama.
