Washington, DC -Tech Equity: Freedom Through Enabling Technology, the first comprehensive operational playbook dedicated to enabling technology in intellectual and developmental disability (IDD) and aging services, is now available. The book presents a bold central thesis: enabling technology is not a luxury. It is a civil rights issue and a pathway to a life fully lived, where people with IDD and aging adults have the privacy, independence, and space to discover their own interests, express their authentic selves, and evolve into who they are meant to be. It also creates an opportunity for caregivers and providers to explore innovative ways to evolve their services and supports, without the fear of compromising quality outcomes.
Written by Precious “Preciosa” Myers-Brown, The Voice of Enabling Technology™, the book draws on over three decades of leadership in the IDD field. Myers-Brown is the first woman of color to found a full-service, end-to-end enabling technology and remote supports company in the United States. That company, Vista Supports LLC, is minority-owned and minority-led, and represents a new model for how care infrastructure gets built.
Tech Equity: Freedom Through Enabling Technology introduces four proprietary frameworks designed for real-world implementation: the Enabled Life Model™, the Tech Equity Triangle™, the Seven Freedoms of ET™, and the Ritmo Framework™. Together, they give disability and aging service providers a practical, values-driven roadmap for implementing technology that expands human freedom and autonomy rather than simply managing risk.
According to company representatives, what makes this book irreplaceable is its origin. Myers-Brown started as a frontline worker and built this body of knowledge without a roadmap, without institutional backing, and without anyone having done it before her. Every story, every framework, and every insight comes from real engagement with real people over three decades.
Myers-Brown is a Founding Baddie+ and Mainstage speaker at BaddieCon 2025, where she presented on the panel “Purposeful Pixels: The Power of Tech in Social Change.” She also serves as Chief Innovation and Dream Officer of Vista Supports LLC, President of the DC Coalition of Disability Service Providers, Co-Chair of the DC Technology Committee, board member of the ANCOR Foundation and Techquity, participant in the AARP AgeTech Collaborative, and member of the Consumer Technology Association. Her work was featured in the BBC StoryWorks documentary The Human Component, and she was named to Black Leaders Worldwide Women to Watch in both 2024 and 2025. Most recently, she joined Cornell Tech professor Thijs Roumen, BI Collaborative CEO Scott Bachik, and YAI Chief Strategy Officer Ravi Dahiya on the panel “AI in I/DD: Possibilities” at the NJACP conference in March 2026, exploring artificial intelligence as a tool for expanding independence and accessible futures for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
Myers-Brown is also the founder of the WATI Institute™ (Workforce Advancement Through Innovation), a national initiative dedicated to scaling the enabling technology workforce by attracting a new generation of professionals who may not have seen themselves in the field, while helping today’s caregivers and direct support professionals recognize how their natural and generational talents are essential to the future of care. It is her dream that as services and supports evolve through innovation, the workforce evolves with them, so that the people closest to the work are not left behind as the field advances.
The book is designed for disability service providers, policymakers working in Home and Community Based Services, aging services organizations, technology developers, universities preparing the next generation of professionals, and families supporting individuals with IDD or aging adults seeking to modernize care and expand independence.
