01About the lab
The Precision Teaching Research Lab is a research group led by Dr Thanos Vostanis, based at the Tizard Centre, University of Kent, part of LASE University Group. It brings together doctoral researchers and collaborators who share an interest in precision teaching and evidence-based approaches to teaching and learning for people of all ages.
Most of our work is with people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and with special educational needs and disabilities. Our work is also collaborative and interdisciplinary: we work with practitioners, services and researchers from other fields, in education and well beyond it.
We choose methods to fit each project, whether quantitative or qualitative, single-case or group. Above all, we want the work to be useful: it should make sense in the place it is meant for, matter to the people involved, and make a real difference to their lives.
02Research made accessible
We want our findings to reach the people who can use them, not only those who read journals. Each infographic summarises one of our published studies on a single page, in plain English. Free to download and share.

03More from the lab
Short audio summaries of our published papers, released as The Precision Teaching Research Lab Podcast. The two hosts, Ogden and Eric, are AI voices named after Ogden Lindsley and Eric Haughton. What they discuss comes from our published work.
We share what sits behind our studies wherever we can: the Standard Celeration Charts, datasheets, fidelity checklists and questionnaires. They are openly available on Figshare, so that others can check our work and build on it.
