  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!)
A way to handle this situation is to model how to use personal space, and propose specific instruction for what to do instead. You can host a small example activity, and then suggest possible alternatives, like asking if they can hold your hand when speaking if they need that sensory component.
