Emotional or behavioral disability

An emotional or behavioral disability means that sometimes, a person's feelings or actions are very different from what is expected. For example, sometimes a person might feel very sad or angry and have a hard time calming down. Or sometimes, they might do things that aren't okay, like hit or yell at others, when they're upset.

This can make it hard for them to do things like go to school, make friends or get along with family members. But it's important to know that having an emotional or behavioral disability is not a person's fault - it's just how their brain works. People with emotional or behavioral disabilities can learn ways to cope and manage their emotions, and it's important that they get the right support and help from people around them, like teachers, counselors or therapists.
