ABSTRACT
This chapter explores what characterised or epitomised the practice that supported people with learning disabilities to use technologies prior to 2000. The positive risk-taking framework underpins this examination. Analysis suggests that support practice prior to 2000 could be characterised as creative and that two kinds of creative practice existed: creativity as ‘making’ and creativity as ‘possibility-thinking.’ Furthermore, creative practice was enabled when those in support roles were given the space-time and freedom by their managers to explore possibilities. It is argued that future support practice would benefit from this kind of uninhibited creativity.
