  Case: Personal Space Boundaries
Students are not allowed to hug, or touch each other during the course of the school day. This students is very
touchy. He does not have clear boundaries of personal space and can be inappropriately affectionate causing multiple redirections throughout the school day. He has a history of this, and while nothing inappropriate has happened I fear issues are escalating. What steps should be taken or what strategies should be practiced?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
One approach that has been very effective with regards to personal boundaries with my high functioning autistic student is social stories. These have also been effective with the general education population. Sometimes a visual might be more effective than a verbal reminder. There is a social stories app that could be downloaded that helps students create their own social stories. This student can create one with regard to personal space. He could also be positively rewarded whenever he follows these rules.

Comments: Social stories and visuals are a great way to teach students about boundaries and appropriate behaviors for various social situations. Using positive reinforcement is also a great way to reward the student when they behave appropriately and respect the personal space of their peers and teachers.
