Perry LaRoque, Ph.D. - Founder, Mansfield Hall

In this episode of The Voice of Hope Podcast, Dr. Ken Huey sits down with Perry LaRoque, Ph.D., founder of Mansfield Hall and a leading advocate for neurodiverse learners.Perry shares why traditional education systems often fail students who learn differently, how mental health and academic struggles are deeply connected, and what parents can do to better recognize when a young adult is struggling in college.The conversation explores self-advocacy, belonging, labels, resilience, and the power of finding a community where students feel accepted for who they are. Perry also offers a powerful message for any young person who feels like they do not fit the mold: there is nothing wrong with you — you just need to find the people and places that see your strengths.
