I would re-direct the student as necessary and would notify the counselor about the behaviors of the student and the concerns which you are having. These issues should be addressed as to avoid further complications.

One approach that has been very effective with regards to personal boundaries with my high functioning autistic student is social stories. These have also been effective with the general education population. Sometimes a visual might be more effective than a verbal reminder. There is a social stories app that could be downloaded that helps students create their own social stories. This student can create one with regard to personal space. He could also be positively rewarded whenever he follows these rules.

If it is during the class or instruction, you could try making a tape boundary on the table. I have tried this for students who can't keep their personal belongings in their personal area. This may help as a visual reminder.

I would continue to re-direct the student. Also, I would talk to the school guidance counselor and parents if necessary.

Along with discussing the issue with the councilor, and possibly your admin team, to find different solutions, you could also talk directly with the student about how it makes you, and the other students, feel when he is constantly touching, how it would make him feel if someone were to do the same to him, and most importantly, about the importance of consent. This is a newspaper article posted by The Washington Post about the importance of teaching our children/students about consent at a very young age (http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/parenting/wp/2015/02/13/its-never-too-early-to-teach-children-about-consent-and-boundaries/). The student might not be receiving these lessons at home, and could actually be receiving the opposite message (that consent doesn't matter), and if he understands that he needs to listen to others wishes and understand their boundaries before attempting any types of touching, or at least ask for permission before he does.

I mysleft very rarley liked getting touched by others so I could easily talk to that studnet and tell him that not everyone likes being touched and that just becuase you can does not mean you should. I would also like to get his definetion of personal space. If he had clear idea of personal space and that everyone has thier own it might work out for him in to stop be so touchy. I would also like to talk to the parents about what i told him about to make sure they know the problem and that we want help in stopping it before something bad happens.

The best thing that you can do is to continue to redirect the student. This could be a problem with a deeper root such as problems at home or a disability. I would notify the parents again, counselors and school psychologist.

This is something that should be addressed right away. Teaching the student a cue such as the words personal space is something that you could try. So when someone does not want to be touched or does not want someone in their space they just say personal space. He should learn this and eventually become respectful about touching others or being in others space.

Create a goal with the student to change this behavior Give visual or verbal cues when he is displaying this behavior so he knows it's not what he should be doing.

Have students create a safe word for when someone is in their "bubble". The word could be bubble if needed. If a student says the word bubble then you can come and asses the situation. If it continues i would maybe get parents or a consoler involved.

I think sitting down with the student and talking to him about it will help. If it does not get any better, result to a parent/teacher meeting and talk to the parents about his behavior and how it can make other students feel.

I would continue to redirect the student throughout the day. You could use non-verbal or verbal cues for this redirection. A review of the classroom rules would also be beneficial and if your classroom rules do not contain "keeps hands to yourself", or something similar, then you may need to add it to your rules.

I would have a classroom discussion on why we don't touch other people during class and how we can avoid doing it whether if it be by accident or on purpose. Encourage the student when he is keeping his hands to himself and redirect him when necessary.

I would re-direct the student and explain to them that touching another student is not allowed, and if they keep doing it I'm going to have to get the principal, and their parents involved.

Create a narrative story with him as the main character in which the character learns a lesson about why personal space is important. After this, you can create the situation and have the child act it out to better understand.

Pulling the student aside and discuss he inappropriate behavior is something that should happen first.

I would suggest either a male teacher or a counselor talk with him just to remind him that students are not allowed to touch one another and some students might not like him touching them. Tell the student you do not want things to escalate, especially into a situation that leads to a fight.

Start a personal space board. Student must go the entire week without any check marks. If they make it through the week, they get a reward!

I would teach a mini lesson on personal space. After this lesson I would pull him aside and tell him the consequence if he continues his inappropriate behavior. Involve a administrator or behavior assistant.
