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!) I would set up a parent-teacher conference to talk to the parents about the issue. Find out if this is just something that happens at school or if it happens outside of school. I would talk to him privately. I would offer to give him a fidget toy if it is due to just being fidgety. If this does not help, try putting boundary tape on the floor to tell him while he is at his desk, he needs to stay within the tape at all times. If nothing is helping, involve administration along with the guidance counselor and the parents again. Come up with a behavior management plan and steps to help the student.
