This study analyses experiences related to digitization of daily activities for adults with intellectual disability (ID). An overarching question is whether these experiences can promote digital inclusion. During the spring of 2020, many day centres closed due to COVID-19. However, as reports on the deteriorating health of adults with ID isolated in their homes began surfacing, manyday centres pivoted to instead explore possibilities for providing meaningful activities digitally.The study draws on ethnographic data from five day centres for adults with ID in Sweden that all experimented with providing meaningful activities with the aid of information and communication technology (ICT) during the pandemic. Interviews were carried out with 16 service users, 9 carers,and 19 staff and managers. Fieldwork was carried out in each of the five day centres one year after the interviews. The results show that staff were able to provide meaningful activities for adults with ID from a distance using ICT - to some extent. There were many obstacles, but also opportunities. Managers and staff saw new opportunities to provide meaningful activities through digital means, to engage absent service users, and to extend/develop familiar activities digitally. Service users also saw new ways of communicating with family and friends. The research participants expressed positive attitudes towards the future role and increased use of ICT in day centres, but the fieldwork revealed that most new ideas about digitalisation had not been realised. Possible reasons are discussed, including organisational barriers, the role of staff, and the tyranny of tradition
