LISA ChatGPT

Well-being and mental health are fundamental components of children's development and their educational success. Yet, more than one in four children face challenges such as neurodevelopmental and learning disorders (like Specific Learning Disorder, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, etc.), mood disorders (like anxiety, depression), or emotional and behavioral disorders.

In the absence of detection and intervention, these challenges often lead to severe consequences for the child and those around them: lack of interest, dropping out, bullying, violence, suicidal actions...

The LISA research-action program provides educational stakeholders with tools to identify, understand, and collaborate, to support each child, both in and outside of school, based on their strengths and needs. Co-constructed by teachers, families, researchers, clinicians, and other educational actors, LISA develops a community, a training program, and a digital platform.

LISA is originally developed and prototyped in France, initiated by iféa, a network of innovative schools, and the Learning Planet Institute. LISA is developed Under the supervision of its scientific committee, including Ariel B. Lindner, Bennett L. Leventhal, Richard Delorme, Bruno Falissard, Caroline Huron, Yasser Kazhaal, and others; a dedicated team including Anirudh Krishnakumar, Naima Page, Kseniia Konischeva, Arno Klein, and others; and key partner institutions including the Child Mind Institute, INSERM U1284, CléPsy, and the Robert Debré Hospital in Paris.

The project has received support from the French government to be deployed in 200 schools within the Académie de Créteil, Académie de Paris, Académie de Versaille, and the Mission laïque française.

LISA aims to provide stakeholders in the education of children and adolescents with evidence-based, actionable, and accessible training and guidance in the process of identifying and supporting their unique strengths and needs. As part of this effort, LISA is building a database of resources, Lisapedia.

While all Lisapedia content will be carefully written, reviewed, and validate by a scientific and editorial committee, this page represents a technological proof of concept of combining structured knowledge from field experts with generative AI to draft content, which can then be reviewed and edited by experts.

I want to help my children/student in the following, more specific area:Help

Expressive Language - communicating with speech and gestures
Expressive Language includes words and sounds, powerfully augmented by non-verbal communication, including gestures, body posture, facial expression etc. There are many subtle elements that enhance the breadth, depth and nuance of expressive language. These include rate, rhythm, volume, prosody, and tone of speech, as well as vocabulary and word choice. Effective expressive communication requires the flexible, skillful combination of gestures and spoken words. It takes considerable effort to communicate functionally, yet remarkably, even from early life, typically developing individuals are able to express to others their ideas, feelings, wants, and needs. These skills grow in complexity over the course of the lifespan, however, there is considerable variability amongst individuals that depends on biological make-up, cognitive ability, environmental factors, and cultural/social experiences.
Receptive Language - recognizing and understanding words and gestures as communication
Receptive language is the capacity to comprehend verbal and non-verbal messages provided by others in the environment. It requires the ability to appreciate the nuances of communication (e.g., gesture, body posture, rhythm, volume, vocabulary, prosody, tone, etc.); each of these elements enhance the effectiveness and comprehension of communicative intent. In order to receive communication, the individual must attend to the critical elements of language, as well as the ability to focus on and interpret communication directed specifically at the individual, as well as more broadly with the environment. These skills grow in complexity over the course of the lifespan, however, there is considerable variability amongst individuals that depends on their biological make-up, cognitive ability, culture, and social experience.
Speech Quantity - speaking with an appropriate number of words for communication
Language is the full spectrum of communicative behaviors. It includes words, gestures, body posture, facial expression, and a myriad of other behaviors that have communicative intent. This item refers ONLY to spoken language - speech. There is enormous variation in speech quantity that is partly dependent on context ("Is this a time to be quiet or a time to offer to speak up?") and also depends on the capability of the individual to speak about specific content ("Does the individual know anything about the present topic?" "Are they lacking confidence with respect to that content?") Or, does the individual have the physical ability to produce speech at all. Thus, the quantity of speech may typically vary depending on context and content, however, individuals with problems related to speech quantity have difficulty regulating the amount of speaking in appropriate response to the context or content.
Speech Quality - speaking understandably
Speech is the production of sounds that are most often formed into words which can be linked to form sentences, paragraphs, descriptions, requests, stories, and much more. Using variations in rate, tone, rhythm, volume, clarity, word/sound selection, coordination with non-verbal communication, and other elements of sound production enhance the understandability of the intended communication. Flexible and adaptable speech offers greater possibility that the intended message will be received and properly interpreted by the listener.

In this area, my children/student displays the following behavior:Help

Does not use words or gestures
Words and gestures are rarely, if ever, used to express preferences or needs. Gestures made with the assistance of others may indicate communicative intent, but are inconsistent. Forced or spontaneous utterances may be present, but are of limited utility due to lack of consistency and use of conventional communication tools such as words or identifiable gestures.
Uses words and gestures to effectively communicate
Effective expressive communication includes the use of an age-appropriate vocabulary coordinated with visual regard and appropriate gestures (facial expression, body posture, hand movement). Typical speech is characterized by appropriate variability in rate, volume, and rhythm, as well as pragmatics, all consistent with the context in which communication is taking place.
Uses words and gestures but communicates ineffectively
The lack of coordination of utterances and gestures, along with poor articulation, grammar, and inconsistent rhythm makes expressive language difficult to comprehend and ineffective. Even in the presence of a large vocabulary, expressive language is impaired by the use of words in the wrong context, idiosyncratic variations in vocal pitch (e.g., robotic speech), and rhythm (e.g., stuttering).

Overview of the challenges associated with this profile

Challenges	How they manifest
Lack of coordination between gestures and words	The student has difficulty expressing their thoughts clearly, with gestures not aligning with the spoken words, leading to confusion.
Poor articulation and grammar	The spoken words may be slurred, cut-off or mispronounced, rendering the speech difficult to understand. The incorrect use of grammar further adds to the lack of clarity.
Inconsistent speech rhythm	This could manifest as stuttering, uneven speech tempo or awkward pauses, leading towards ineffective communication.
Usage of words in wrong context	Despite a large vocabulary, the student might use words inappropriately, making the sentence meaning unclear.
Idiosyncratic variations in speech	This includes factors such as Robotic speech or unusual rise and fall in tone, which makes their expression appear unnatural.

Efficient, evidence-based strategies to support this student

Strategy Title	Description and Why it's Efficient	Implementation Steps	Parameters to Monitor and Adjust
Speech and Language Therapy	This strategy will assist the student in improving articulation, vocal pitch and expressive language. School-based speech and language therapy programs have been shown to improve communication skills.	1. Refer the student to a speech and language therapist. 2. Monitor the student’s progress with regular check-ins with the therapist.	Student’s progress in various speech parameters like articulation, pitch control, contextual vocabulary use etc.
Model Effective Communication	Model effective communication to give the student a guide for how to express their thoughts.	1. Regularly use clear articulation and proper grammar in class. 2. Show them how to use gestures that match with the spoken words.	Monitor if the student is mimicking the communication methods effectively.
Structured Learning	Breaking learning into step-by-step process helps student to better understand the concepts.	Create a structured, step-by-step routine for language use. Reward the student when they successfully utilizes the structured routine.	Success in following the sequential steps and improvements in communication. Adjust the steps as necessary to tailor to the individual student.

Do and Don'ts

Do	Don't
Do reinforce good language use positively.	Don't ignore the student’s efforts to improve their speech.
Do encourage participation in group activities to improve communication skills.	Don't isolate or single out the student for their language difficulties.
Do promote the use of visual aids and other supportive tools.	Don't solely rely on verbal communication.
