Presently special needs education is in the process of being changed to special support education, and the training of special support education coordinators has become an important issue. In 2006, Naruto University of Education established a field of study in the training for special support education coordinators. We conducted a nationwide survey on the training of coordinators with the aim of helping this field function smoothly. The subjects of the survey were the nationwide prefectural Board of Education and the Board of Education in the municipalities in Tokushima Prefecture. The total number of boards was 95. Fifteen questions were the surveyed items. The first 7 questions were items that asked about the present conditions of coordinator training in each prefecture or municipality. The last 8 questions were items that asked about their needs which Naruto University of Education should address. The main results were the following. In coordinator education, strong needs exist in heightening the "ability to coordinate and adjust" and the "ability to guide teachers, parents, and children" rather than in obtaining a teaching license. Furthermore, it became evident that our university is expected to play a role as a specialized organization involved in the training for special support education and to be a resource of the society which makes regional contributions.
