Abstract	Background: Staff can encourage adults with intellectual disabilities to reflect on their experiences in a number of ways. Not all are equally successful interactionally. Methods: Conversation Analysis is used to examine c. 30 h of recordings made at two service-provider agencies. Results: I identify two practices for soliciting reflection: both start with open-ended "test" questions, but they differ on how these are followed up. A more interrogatory practice is to follow up with alternatives and yes/no questions. A more facilitative practice is to give hints and elaborate the replies. Conclusions: I discuss the differences between the two practices in terms of the institutional agendas that guide the staff's interactional routines. With regard to the more successful one, I note the sensitivity of using "hints" when asking about clients' own experiences. (Contains 7 extracts and 2 footnotes.) (As Provided).
