Brittany Summers

Brittany Summers is a 20-year Air Force Spouse, wife to Kevin and mom to Owen (age 14) and Aubrey (age 12). In 2004, she received her Bachelor of Arts in Mass Communications and Public Relations from the University of South Carolina. In 2012, Owen was given an autism diagnosis and Aubrey was identified to have a rare genetic mutation resulting in physical and intellectual delays.

In June 2022, Brittany earned her Master of Science in Applied Behavior Analysis from National University and became a Board-Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) later that year. She currently works as a BCBA within the Hawaii Department of Education with the hopes of using Applied Behavior Analysis to make significant social change with her students as it has done with her family.

Since Owen and Aubrey were originally diagnosed, the family has moved due to military orders six more times. Brittany has found a passion in advocating for special needs children, particularly in the military population. Realizing that she was not alone in the frustrations of re-establishing care at each duty station and lack of continuity with her children’s medical care and education, Brittany began working with Partners in PROMISE in 2024 to contribute to their efforts to educate, advise and advocate for exceptional military families and their education.
