[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child who also needs intensive support/supervised study halls is thriving at Mansfield Hall. https://mansfieldhall.org/

Your child would need to be willing to switch schools to one in a city that Mansfield serves.[/quote]

What is the demographic of Mansfield Park? My child is very functional in all ways except academic executive functioning! It makes it tricky socially to place him in programs. [/quote]

Almost everyone is autistic or autism-adjacent. Everyone is assigned to two case managers -- one for academics, one for everything else -- but different people need different support, and they are good with individualizing. I would have said the same thing about my child, but she's still benefited from the support around keeping her space clean (including cleaning the bathroom) and mediating roommate disputes -- but the academic support is why she's there. When we visited for parents weekend, some of her peers were obviously autistic in their mannerisms but others had no outward signs (based on casual conversation). My daughter has joined social groups based both at Mansfield and at her college.[/quote]
