MIND OVER MANNER is a specialist workshop series designed to engage and develop  communication capabilities of those who learn , think and work differently.
 We facilitate workshops for parents , families and professionals in the workplace along with community to advance communication and behavioral functionality.We generate excellent positive outcomes.


There is a significant increase in the number of people who experience difficulty with existing learning methods, who struggle with productive processing or how to operate successfully in a team or group . People have sensory processing differences and these diverse responses are often diagnosed along with Aspergers and the Autism Spectrum, ADHD, Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, OCD etc.These processing differences often manifest in physical discomfort , anxiety and behavioral dysfunction.

​
MIND OVER MANNER works in three distinct areas: 
  • parents family & supporters
  • community  & service providers
  • corporate & workplace
MIND OVER MANNER aims to normalise what is often viewed as disability or dysfunction and encourages the reframe of cognitive difference.
 We provide practical ways to improve relationships and behavioral outcomes, by promoting deeper understandings to successfully consolidate functionality and productivity for all. 

Mind Over Manner has run a community workshop series since 2011. This proceeded with the endorsement of Autism New Zealand Inc, Altogether Autism,The ADHD Association and The Dyspraxia Association.
