There is growing literature on good practice to promote the wellbeing of children with dis/abilities in the classroom. Here, we review that literature. This chapter first reviews the different frameworks that are used to understand the meaning of dis/ability, and how children themselves conceive dis/ability. Then, we look at the evidence linking disability-based bullying, and responses to it, to wellbeing. We then look at research on what “wellbeing” means to children with dis/abilities and how they would like to see their wellbeing supported. Finally, we consider wider issues around classroom participation and the representation of children with dis/abilities. We consider the actions that may be taken with these in mind to bolster the wellbeing of children with dis/abilities.enThis is an Accepted Manuscript of a book chapter published by Routledge/CRC Press in Mental Wellbeing in Schools: What Teachers Need to Know to Support Pupils from Diverse Backgrounds on [date of publication], available online: http://www.routledge.com/[BOOK ISBN URL]AccessibilityAttitudesBias-based BullyingBullyingChildren With DisabilitiesChildren’s Mental HealthClassroom InclusionCultural Model Of DisabilityDisabilityEqual RepresentationFriendshipInclusive EducationInclusive PedagogyIntellectual DisabilityPeer RelationshipsPhysical DisabilityPrejudiceSchool StaffSocial AwarenessSocial ConnectednessSocial InclusionSocial Model Of DisabilitySocial RelationsBook chapter
