Research Abstract

This study concerns logic and practice in "medical care" for people with disabilities, who live independently in their home. Through our ethnographical research, their communicative problems in "medical care" are focused on, especially assisted social interaction of persons with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis(ALS), who use ventilators. "Kuchi-moji(ban)" is an alternative communication method, which does not use machinery but utilizes his/her attendant of ALS person. This study explicates how they interact with others through this communication method, using conversation analysis and membership categorization analysis of ethnomethodology. It is observed that assisted social interaction based on this method are collaborative work of the person and their attendants. The finding suggests that these interaction are based on shared "methodical knowledge" based on their everyday life at independent living, which is necessary for accelerating the method and their social life in total.
