Abstract

Purpose: This paper aims to endorse and elaborate on the recommendations put forward by Griffin and Mannion (2024). Design/methodology/approach: Specifically, this paper aims to expand on the potential for the application of Precision Teaching (PT) at the School Support Plus (for a few) level of the Irish continuum of support. Findings: This paper focuses on applying PT to support learners with complex learning needs and emphasises the importance of viewing PT as a flexible system that can be adapted to support all learners. Originality/value: Considerations and adaptations for using the PT system to support learners with complex learning needs are discussed, including count times, frequency aim ranges, practice type and assuring assent and social validity.
