Abstract
An investigation was conducted of the displayed biobehavioral states o f five students with profound mental retardation. The data were analyz ed to determine (1) whether it was possible to reliably determine biob ehavioral state levels and (2) if subjects could be classified accordi ngly to profile groups. Results indicated that state level can be reli ably specified and that overall state characteristics of subjects can be used in profiling efforts. The educational implications for such ty pes of assessments were also discussed.
