Abstract: Although the social dimension of inclusion is increasingly becoming a focus of research, little attention has been paid to teachers´ efforts to address the social participation of secondary school students with social, emotional or behavioural difficulties (SEBD). This study presents the results of 11 interviews with Austrian secondary school teachers and focuses on how they rated their SEBD students´ social participation and what strategies they applied in its promotion. The study reveals that teachers found their students´ social participation to be satisfactory and applied direct and indirect strategies to foster it. While teachers used various strategies to promote positive student interactions, SEBD students´ social self-perception, and their acceptance by classmates, they did not directly encourage the development of friendships. The indirect strategies employed by teachers included gaining support from colleagues and the school management, establishing close parental contact, making educational adjustments to meet students´ needs and developing trusting teacher-student relationships.
