Using AI to Navigate Disability in African Contexts
About this book
Across Africa, millions of persons with disabilities remain excluded from the Al revolution — not for lack of ability, but because technology has rarely been designed with them in mind. 'Using Al to Navigate Disability in African Contexts' changes that.
Written in plain, accessible language and grounded in African realities, this pocketbook is a first-of-its-kind guide that shows how artificial intelligence can restore agency, dignity, and access. It offers tailored, ready-to-use Al prompts, low-bandwidth solutions, and culturally sensitive tools for diverse disability communities — from blind and low-vision users to those who are deaf, neurodivergent, mobility-impaired, or living with psychosocial disabilities.
Beyond individuals, this book equips caregivers, inclusive educators, health workers, NGOs, and policy makers with practical Al strategies to improve learning. communication, healthcare, and advocacy. It addresses ethical risks, privacy concerns, and bias, ensuring Al is deployed as a force for justice rather than exclusion.
Whether you are a person with a disability, a family member, a teacher, or an advocate, this book is your roadmap to harnessing Al for empowerment — Afrocentric, intersectional, and built for the realities of the continent.
