  Case: Inappropriate Dancing
I teach a young lady with down syndrome who loves to dance. She is 21 now and sometimes grinds on younger students (who are minors) when she is excited and dancing.
How should I approach the situation and get her to understand it is inappropriate?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
The best thing to do is just talk to her about it. She will most likely understand. If that doesn't work, then give her space in the classroom away from the other students. The main thing is to implement a reminder. Anyone who gets too excited about anything can get forgetful, regardless if they have Down Syndrome or not. Try a hand signal as a reminder to stop the grinding, or maybe even trying just eye contact.

Comments: I agree about talking to her first, and then if that doesn't work put her in a spot away from other students.
