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.

Sometimes a 5K is called a fun run- can confirm that much fun was had by all! 🏃
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!

This week at Mansfield Hall was our week of giving.
We recognize that we benefit from the communities we are a part of, and it’s our beliefs that it’s our responsibility to give back to the spaces that enrich us.
Students and staff were welcomed at a local farm to harvest over 1,800 lbs of apples, which will go to feeding 500 food insecure families around the state.
Happy Friday Everyone 🍎
