Study Abroad:
Mansfield Hall
Reading, UK
Mansfield Hall was founded on the belief that increasing access increases outcomes – and nothing could be more true for our Semester Abroad students.
Study Abroad provides students the opportunity to study at the University of Reading, located in Reading, England, just 30 minutes from both London and Oxford, by train.
Just like our US-based locations, Reading offers an inviting, accessible, and walkable university town, as well as easy access to a host of educational, cultural, and social opportunities.
While students take classes at the University, they are supported not only by their team in England, but also their team of Mansfield Hall professionals stateside. Students have full access to the dorms, dining halls, student activities, and coursework at the University.
Studying Abroad Does Not Mean Giving Up Comprehensive Support
Semester Abroad students will also participate in supported cultural travel and exploration, in conjunction with their semester abroad. Nearby sites include London, Oxford, Cambridge, Stonehenge, and Windsor, among others.
In addition to comprehensive support from Mansfield Hall, Study Abroad students also work closely with University of Reading’s Study Abroad Program Office, and the entire program has been developed in conjunction with Dr. Bishmadev Chakrabarti, Research Director at the Centre for Autism.
Mansfield Hall Study Abroad provides our students access to the normative experience of international travel, studying abroad, and exploring new cultures, all while also providing Academic, Executive Functioning, Pro-Social, and Independent Living Support.
Students do not need to have completed a term at Mansfield Hall to be eligible for a Semester Abroad, but they do need to have the demonstrated adaptive skills to manage student life at The University of Reading.
Study Abroad Tuition: $50,000/Semester – Includes room, board, support, services, and coursework tuition at The University of Reading.

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.
