Giving Voice: Mobile Communication, Disability, and Inequality (The John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation Series on Digital Media and Learning) delves into the complexities of how communication technologies are used by children with disabilities and their families. Author Meryl Alper examines the use of the Apple iPad and mobile app Proloquo2Go, which converts icons and text into synthetic speech, to challenge the assumption that these tools inherently empower individuals with speech disorders. Through a nuanced exploration, she reveals that despite technological advancements, structural inequalities persist. The book highlights how cultural, legal, and policy factors can exacerbate disparities, particularly for those with disabilities. Alper also discusses alternative conceptions of voice, the significance of the iPad in sociotechnical contexts, and the varied understandings and experiences of parents from different socio-economic backgrounds. Her research underscores that while technology may offer potential, it is the ability to mobilize social, economic, and cultural resources that truly determines an individual’s capacity to be heard.
