  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!)
I would create an example that is easy to understand when referring to personal space. For example, I would tell the students that I am in a bubble, and in order not to pop that bubble, you need to refrain out of my personal space. This is an analogy that students will easily understand and hopefully respect.
