This document outlines the Behavior Intervention Guidelines (BIG) aimed at fostering consistency among staff and improving responses to problem behaviors in children. The guidelines comprise four key steps: Identify problem behaviors, categorize them, develop appropriate responses, and implement the strategies. BIG emphasizes acknowledging a child's feelings, incorporating self-regulation and problem-solving components, and utilizing non-aversive measures. Following these steps helps reduce the number of problematic responses while ensuring staff are equipped to handle new behaviors effectively.
