If you are a parent of a SN child who does this or therapist who works with this population, is there a short phrase to say when a child is too “touchy”? I am looking for a kind way to tell a child to keep their hands to themselves and not touch adults/children around them. Thank you!

Depends on the special needs. My son has asd and we have a "code" word for him. We discussed it with him and picked it together and when I say it it is a reminder for him.

Usually we teach children about personal space, and a personal space bubble. So if I wanted to remind someone I would say "please be careful about staying in your own space bubble." Also, fidget toys can be very helpful for kids who are tactile seeking.

I tell ds “personal space” when he tries to hug a stranger or do inappropriate touch. I tell him “let go” when he pulls hair.

"Space bubble" is good.
Also, try to note when it's happening, and look what was going on earlier that might have led to sensory seeking behavior. Choosing when and how you can provide sensory enrichment is really helpful. Maybe some time on a swing, or with some form of deep pressure, can help calm before there is an inappropriate action?
