Résumé :	At the start, it was impossible to imagine that a study on powered mobility for a marginalized group of children would expand to a framework for tool use regarding learning and development of occupational performance. It was a novel idea to provide children who have profound cognitive disabilities with opportunities to practice using a joystick-operated powered wheelchair. This idea originated from experiences in a paediatric rehabilitation team in a rural area of north Sweden. My challenge as an occupational therapist was to find ways to provide opportunities for stimulating and meaningful activity for children who had multiple and complex disabilities. Fortunately, several extraordinary experiences from my practice inspired my insight that access to powered wheelchair exploration could result in the unexpected development of occupational performance in children with profound cognitive disabilities (Nilsson, 2007).
