Abstract

Background: A critical analysis is provided of naturally occurring talk between 6 support workers and an allied health professional as they go about their business of doing a behavioural management plan for Jane, a woman with a severe intellectual and communication disability.

Method: Utilising Membership Categorization Analysis, a form of ethnomethodology, the research focuses on the procedural knowledge in use.

Results: This knowledge is used to show the underlying social order found in the meeting. The investigation identifies the pairing of what have previously been regarded as separate entities: “Client” and “Worker” as “Client”/“Worker”.

Conclusions: This research has implications for our understanding of the silent partner – the client – and the support offered to people constituted as having an intellectual disability.
