About Us

Brighter Abilities was founded in 2025 by Blake Summers, an experienced professional passionate about improving the lives of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities in Ohio. After working in disability services since 2012, Blake saw the need for a more personalized, empowering approach to supporting individuals and families.

With over a decade of hands-on experience in Ohio’s developmental disability community, he created Brighter Abilities to provide trusted, compassionate services that help individuals gain independence, confidence, and new opportunities. At Brighter Abilities, Blake believes every person deserves to be recognized for their unique abilities and supported on their journey toward a brighter future.

Blake continues to lead with dedication, building a strong foundation of respect, inclusion, and meaningful support for individuals and families across Ohio.
