  Case: Hands to Yourself
I have a student in my classroom that is constantly touching his peers. Whether sitting in a chair, sitting on the rug, in line, in the bathroom--everywhere. Most of the time it's innocent, but it does bother his peers. My assistant and I continually remind him to keep his hands to himself. We have also used visuals while giving this direction, but he continues to touch others. What can I do to keep his hands to himself?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Set up a conference with his parents together create a system that can ensure he keeps his hands to himself and reinforce his positive behaviors when not touching others with things he enjoys doing at school. Also try adding more sensory elements in the classroom and during lesson concepts to keep his hands busy.

Comments: In addition to this I think bringing it to the parents attention in this scenario could also bring about a possible medical issue that was not previously aware of. This is a good solution that brings in the parents but also gives the teacher something to do in the mean time by providing sensory elements.

Comments: I believe this is the best solution to the case, having the parents be aware of the behaviors are important for communication and help for the student. The positive reinforcement and encouragement can help the student to identify good behaviors and avoid the bad ones. Sensory balls are good for keeping the student's hand movements at ease and off of their fellow classmates.

Comments: Sensory elements are a great tool for students who need tactile fixation items. Also scheduling a meeting with the parents to inform them of the behavior going on is a key step in getting this issue solved.
