Tech Equity

About this book

Tech Equity isn't a trend. It's a pathway to freedom. For decades, the disability and aging services field has operated on a framework built in 1988, before the internet existed and when "independence" was measured by compliance rather than choice. Today, we face a massive workforce crisis and a generation demanding autonomy, yet we are trying to solve 2026 problems with outdated tools. In Tech Equity, Precious "Preciosa" Myers-Brown, The Voice of Enabling Technology™, delivers a blueprint for transformation. Drawing on over three decades of leadership experience and the legacy of her grandmother, Francena Brown Hicks, Preciosa moves beyond the debate of "man vs. machine" to reveal how technology, when designed with humanity at the center, becomes a partner in liberation. This is the first comprehensive operational playbook on enabling technology for home and community-based services, intellectual and developmental disabilities care, and aging support systems. It introduces four proprietary frameworks: the Enabled Life Model™, the Tech Equity Triangle™, the Seven Freedoms of ET™, and the Ritmo Framework™. This is not a technical manual about devices. It is a manifesto for freedom.
