Classroom Procedures for the Measurement of Behavior State among Students with Profound Disabilities.

Guy, Barbara; And Others

Journal of the Association for Persons with Severe Handicaps (JASH), v18 n1 p52-60 Spr 1993

This study examined whether teacher-implemented classroom measurement procedures of short duration are as reliable as methods used in research studies to determine behavior state (e.g., awake active, awake inactive, asleep, drowsed) of six students with profound mental disabilities. Results indicated that more frequent but briefer measurements were as reliable as the research procedures. (DB)
