Many assistive technologies have been developed since it was enforced that law for promotion of research, development and distribution of technical aids and equipments. However, users didn't use so much developed equipments. For one reason, there is difference between needs from users and design concepts from engineers. Therefore, methodology based on user-centered design is indispensable for development of assistive technologies. In this study, it proposed a framework for development of assistive technologies by collaboration with users, included group interview method as qualitative research. A group interview of powered-wheelchairs' users was held. Information from users was categorized into "need", "situation" and "supposition" defined as item. In order to analyze and assess them, it was applied the extracted item to structural diagram of graph theory. As the result, it was more effective methodology to clarify factors and concepts of assistive technologies.
