For too long, technology in disability and aging care has been about managing risk rather than expanding freedom. Precious “Preciosa” Myers-Brown, The Voice of Enabling Technology™, believes this is a fundamental misunderstanding of what technology should do. Her new book argues that enabling technology is not just a tool. It is a civil rights issue.
Tech Equity: Freedom Through Enabling Technology is the first operational playbook dedicated entirely to enabling technology in intellectual and developmental disability and aging services. Published by House of CINO, it presents a system built on decades of frontline experience in a field where compliance has historically overshadowed possibility.
Built From the Ground Up
Myers-Brown did not arrive at this work from academia or corporate consulting. She started as a frontline worker and became 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, where she serves as Chief Innovation and Dream Officer (CINO), represents a minority-owned and minority-led model in a sector where minority leadership remains rare.
The enabling technology playbook introduces four proprietary frameworks: the Enabled Life Model™, the Tech Equity Triangle™, the Seven Freedoms of ET™, and the Ritmo Framework™. These are not theoretical constructs. They are tools designed for service providers trying to move beyond compliance-based care toward systems that genuinely expand autonomy.
From Frontline Work to National Policy
Myers-Brown’s influence extends well beyond Vista Supports. She serves as President of the DC Coalition of Disability Service Providers, sits on the boards of the ANCOR Foundation and Techquity, participates in the AARP AgeTech Collaborative, and is a member of the Consumer Technology Association. She co-chairs the DC Technology Committee and holds credentials from CSUN’s Assistive Technology Applications Certificate Program and Kellogg/Northwestern’s Chief Digital Officer Executive Scholar program.
Her work has drawn attention outside the disability services field. She was featured in the BBC StoryWorks documentary The Human Component and named to Black Leaders Worldwide Women to Watch in both 2024 and 2025. As a Founding Baddie+ and Mainstage speaker at BaddieCon 2025, she presented a talk titled “Purposeful Pixels: The Power of Tech in Social Change.” 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.
What Comes Next
The book’s audience is specific: disability and aging service providers, policymakers working in Home and Community Based Services, technology developers, universities training future professionals, and families navigating technology-assisted care systems. But its ambitions are broad. Myers-Brown envisions enabling technology recognized as a standard civil right in national policy, the scaling of the WATI Institute™ as a credentialing authority for enabling technology specialists, and expanded minority representation in AI and assistive technology development.
As care infrastructure evolves, the question is not whether technology will play a role. It is a question of whether that technology will be designed to expand human freedom or simply automate old systems. This civil rights approach to enabling technology offers a different path forward, one that recognizes people with disabilities and aging adults are not outside the evolution of culture and society. They are part of it. They deserve to live full lives that honor who they are and where they have been, with access to the same tools and possibilities that everyone else takes for granted.
