Behavior Intervention Room (BIR) definition

Behavior Intervention Room (BIR) means a special location or room within an ESBOCES center that is used for students who need to temporarily be provided with an environment more conducive to their needs in order to gain composure or avoid a potential problem. A BIR is separate from the classroom, has continual adult supervision, and utilizes logs to indicate the length of time a student is in a BIR. A BIR is utilized to assist the student in behavior change that will enable the student to return to the classroom. Use of a BIR in any particular program reflects the management needs of that particular student population. State Education Department Guidelines on the use of time-out rooms are utilized in developing building procedures with regard to a BIR.
