Provide Travis with a work tray to help him stay in his own space. Some teachers use contact paper or tape to define a work space for a child. Once children are given this visual boundary, they are usually very successful in staying within the limits. Keeping the supplies in a group supply box and providing frequent motor breaks may help Travis, as well, but defining the work space is the most effective strategy.
