Learning
College is central to the Mansfield Hall experience. All of our students are taking college classes and are engaged in formal post-secondary education.
Academic success in college means a whole lot more than just understanding the quadratic equation or proper MLA-styled footnotes – it also means understanding one’s own learning style, harnessing and honing college-level study and writing skills, and learning how to access and utilize the many resources that are available on a college campus, and in a college town.
Mansfield Hall is designed to support diverse learners and those with identified learning disabilities in making a successful transition into college. Students receive expert executive functioning support, high-quality writing instruction, and consistent coaching – all while engaging in both a supportive community and their own authentic college experience.
Our students can choose to start as a fully-matriculated student by applying to, and being accepted at, one of the local institutions, or they can choose to start out college as a non-matriculated student – but still take the same courses, for transferrable credit, as any other student.
As a result, students do not need to apply to college in order to start taking classes at Mansfield Hall.
With a variety of colleges and universities to choose from, locations in iconic college towns across the country, and expert academic support available within a comprehensive residential community, Mansfield Hall is ready to support your student’s transition to college.

Feeling overwhelmed in college- but not sure why? you’re not alone.
The key isn’t just “pushing through”, it’s learning to recognize what’s happening before you hit that wall, and having systems to reset.
That might look like:
• stepping outside for a walk
• box breathing between classes
• putting on a guided meditation
• reaching out to someone you trust
Small supports = big difference over time.
At Mansfield Hall, we help students build the awareness and tools to regulate, recharge, and navigate college in a way that actually works for them.
What’s one thing that helps you reset when you’re overwhelmed?

Excellent week across the board!
People Ops team member Jo touched down in Madison, receiving a warm welcome with coffee and a trip to see the Capitol building. VP of Program Ops Hayley grounded herself and took in the beauty of the Statehouse. Pancakes were served, and Burlington student Nikhil took the stage to perform with his choir.
A great week to zoom out and back in- and reflect on all the things we have to be grateful for!

College can be energizing… and draining.
If you’ve ever felt socially exhausted, you’re not alone.
Understanding your limits (and what helps you recharge) can make all the difference.

Hangin` in there until spring weather kicks in!
This week at Mansfield Hall our Eugene, OR students did some rock climbing, Burlington, VT connections students took an outing to the bowling alley/arcade, while others took a trip to a local sugar house to learn about all things maple syrup. Students in Madison, WI continued their endeavors to learn about all things maintenance...and they make it look fun!
Happy Friday Friends- enjoy the weekend.
Mansfield Hall had the joy of hosting some professionals at our Madison, WI location recently, which included a student panel.
One of the questions asked was: What do you like about Mansfield Hall?
The answer: how inclusive it is.
No one gets to choose the brain they have, but we do get to choose the world we create. We choose to accept, celebrate, and work toward a world that’s more inclusive of every brain and the incredible things they can do.
Happy World Autism Awareness Day. We see you, and we celebrate you for all that you are and all that you can be!

Sensory overload happens when your brain receives more sensory input than it can comfortably process.
Our nervous systems are constantly taking in information, but when there’s too much coming in (or it’s coming too fast) our systems can become overwhelmed.
We get it, and it can be managed with small, intentional supports like reducing input, creating predictable routines, and building in quiet recovery time.
