You Know They Can Do This
With the Right Support
Mansfield Hall provides comprehensive academic, executive functioning, social, and independent living support for college students within the context of an inclusive living and learning community.
Mansfield Hall is not a college, we are more like “The Super Dorm” where students receive the holistic and integrated support to make college success possible and the social community to make it fulfilling.
A Parent’s Story:
Confidence, Relief, & Optimism
“We know our student is kind, smart, and capable of great things – but we also knew that it was going to take a place that also understood their executive functioning and social needs to really make college work for them. Mansfield Hall has provided us with the confidence to support their college dreams, the relief of knowing they are in a supportive community, and optimism for their future. This is exactly the kind of environment we dreamed of to support them in college.”
“The social and emotional support has been hugely helpful for my student – he has recognized that he is capable of making friends, asking for help, and building his own life away from home. We love to see him being willing to take on new challenges – and succeed!”
“We’ve never been worried about our daughter’s ability to do her school work – but we were worried about isolation and loneliness. Instead, the Mansfield Hall community has wrapped around her and she’s never been happier. Knowing she has friends, and people who care about her, makes letting her grow up a lot easier.”
“Out son’s Academic Director was absolutely critical in helping him choose the courses and college in which he could achieve success. Without her guidance I very much doubt that my son would still be in college, much less have made the Dean’s List! Mansfield Hall is absolutely the reason he is successful in college.”
“These young adults are immersed in a world of unconditional positive regard, sometimes for the first time in their lives. Mansfield Hall is strengths-based and exquisitely tailored to the individual student, and every experience is framed as a learning opportunity/chance for growth. Differences are valued, and each student has the opportunity to feel highly successful in at least some arenas of life, and to grow without judgment in others. I can’t speak highly enough about Mansfield Hall!”
“Seeing my son finally realize that he is a part of a community, and can have a tribe, is something that will stay with him forever.”

We`re doing our best to soak up these last fall days- it was well worth the effort this hike took!
There’s some fascinating research coming out surrounding the possible links between neurodivergence, hyper mobility, and regulation right now.
The overall conversation is surrounding the idea that neurodivergent folks are 4 times more likely to have generalized hypermoblity- a connective tissue disorder where the ligaments in the body are looser and thusly have to effort extra hard to hold everything in the body together. This additional effort the body has to exert daily to keep everything in order may be linked to a host of things, all pointing to the idea that these folks systems are working overtime to keep regulated.
Exercise, especially strength training can help ease this strain on the body by strengthening the muscles around the ligaments, which can help ease the job of those ligaments with consistent training over time.
Mansfield Hall offers students the opportunity to join in for two structured workouts a week focused on upper and lower body as well as core stability for this reason!
