Persons with emotional disabilities may have special needs which are often less visible than those which accompany a physical disability.

Students with emotional disabilities often have not taken advantage of available services and have become isolated in their attempt to "make it" on their own. Frequently, this isolation leads to poor planning, lack of direction, mounting stress and potential academic failure.

Sinclair Community College's Supported Education Program offers support and guidance to assist persons with emotional disabilities move from a state of dependency to interdependency and thereby successfully achieve their academic goals.
