  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!)
I would continue to redirect the student throughout the day. You could use non-verbal or verbal cues for this redirection. A review of the classroom rules would also be beneficial and if your classroom rules do not contain "keeps hands to yourself", or something similar, then you may need to add it to your rules.
