Study on communication for people with disabilities - media communication and community based care

摘要

This report addresses the effect of media communication on community care for people with disabilities. We show three examples of living styles for people with disabilities: 1) a male who lives alone at an apartment, 2) a married couple of people with disabilities who lives at an apartment, and 3) a female who lives together with her family. Based on these examples, we investigate; 1) how they use media communication in daily life, and 2) the relation between media communication based interactions and community care.
