Direct Help and Support

Mindroom's Direct Help and Support was launched in spring 2005.

Since then, we have provided direct help and support by phone, email and in person, around the corner and across the country to parents and professionals alike.

Director Mig Coupe explains:"We are prepared to go anywhere and talk to anyone who requests us to do so! And there's no charge - only our travelling expenses."

Mig is a speech and language therapist with over 30 years experience working with children. She has a specific interest in communication problems and people with special learning needs.

Mindroom can offer you direct help and support. You will receive a prompt and confidential reply to your enquiry or request.
