  Case: Personal Space
I volunteer at a special needs school and they are all great students. However, some of the students do not understand personal space. They will get very close when speaking to me or grab me. I don't mind it too much but was wondering if there are any solutions to this?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
There are standards on CPALMS that target appropriate social skills. Perhaps you and the teacher that you're volunteering for can come up with a mini-lesson to teach the class about personal space and appropriate touching (like high-fives).

Comments: I agree that this is effective. I think that teaching personal space and boundaries is one of the most important lessons one can teach a special needs or general ed student, especially in an ESE classroom.
