    Abstract:
    State conditions in combination with environmental events and factors significantly affect the level of alertness and responsiveness among students with profound and multiple handicaps. State conditions and environmental variables over a continuous, 5-hour period for each of 25 students in classroom settings were measured. Data were assessed using transitional probability, time series, and correspondence analysis procedures. Results showed the presence of state sequence patterns, short state change periods, and a relatively small amount of association between specific behavior states and the environmental factors and events measured in the study.
