Your Coach ~ Annette M. Hines


I always tell people that first and foremost, I am a mother of two daughters, one of whom passed away from mitochondrial disease in 2013. This deep, personal understanding of special needs fuels my passion for quality special needs planning and advocacy. My daughter Elizabeth was profoundly impacted by her healthcare needs and disabilities, which provides me with unique first-hand experience as a special needs parent who struggled to find supports and resources for Elizabeth and our family. I have founded two separate companies that are part of Special Needs Companies in Massachusetts to provide the services I needed when Elizabeth was young.

During my over twenty years of experience as an attorney and advocate for special needs, I have met with hundreds of individuals and families to coach and guide them in transition planning as well as other areas of planning to protect their access to public benefits and other federal and state programs. I'm also the host of the weekly Parenting Impossible – The Special Needs Survival Podcast.

I can't wait to start working with you!
