Much of education research in recent years has focused on how the bullying and victimization of LGBTQ+ students and youth with disabilities (YWD) can lead to increased challenges and limited opportunities later in life. However, few studies have focused on how bullying and victimization affects students who both have disabilities and identify as LGBTQ+ or on how specific practices could improve both their experiences in school and their success later in life. YWD face the same challenges when it comes to puberty, social identity, and planning for adult roles as their non-disabled peers, but they are more likely to struggle with developing their identity and thinking about their future, particularly if they identify as LGBTQ+, which is why educators and parents must work together to advocate for changes that promote an inclusive, safe, and just environment for all students. In this article, we offer guidance using evidence-based promising practices (EBPPs) to improve educational settings for LGBTQ+ YWD that is informed by our work at the state, local, and classroom levels. Gran parte de las investigaciones en educación en los últimos años se han enfocado en como el acoso y la victimización de los estudiantes LGBTQ+ y estudiantes con discapacidades pueden llevarlos a un aumento de desafíos y menos oportunidades más tarde en sus vidas. Sin embargo, pocas investigaciones se han enfocado en como el acoso y la victimización afecta a los estudiantes con discapacidades o identificados como LGBTQ+ o en como prácticas específicas pueden mejorar sus experiencias escolares y a la vez su éxito en el futuro. Los estudiantes con discapacidades enfrentan los mismo retos que sus compañeros sin discapacidades cuando se trata de la pubertad, identidad social, y en planear para su rol como adultos, pero tienen más dificultad en luchar con el desarrollo de su identidad y en pensar en su futuro, especialmente si se identifican como LGBTQ+, por lo tanto es importante que los docentes y padres de familia trabajen juntos para abogar para cambios que promuevan un ambiente inclusivo, seguro, y justo para todos los estudiantes. En este artículo, ofrecemos consejos utilizando prácticas prometedoras basadas en evidencias para mejorar el ambiente educativo para estudiantes LGBTQ+ con discapacidades que están informadas en nuestro trabajo al nivel estatal, local y de aula.
