ABSTRACT
This chapter examines post-2000 support practice. In particular, it seeks to identify what roles different practitioners are playing in disabling or enabling adults with learning disabilities to access and use technologies and whether different practitioners are working together to achieve similar goals. ‘Communities of Practice’ theory is used to examine whether the different practitioners within the support networks of adults with learning disabilities have shared or conflicting enterprises. Analysis suggests that members of the community sometimes have drastically different goals. Sometimes, however, their goals are similar and they do feel able to make connections and co-operate with one another.
