  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!)
One solution would be to redirect the students attention by changing the situation, such as having them move to a different section during rug time, having the stand next to an assistant in the line. Another potential solution is changing his actions by giving a more concrete suggestion. Instead of saying keep your hands to yourself, provvide a sensory toy or ask him to give himself a hug, cross his arms, or a high five to redirect that energy elsewhere.
