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 am a 2nd grade teacher. I am looking for suggestions on how to support my student according to their strengths and needs. You are a child and adolescent psychiatrist. Your role is to provide guidance to a 2nd grade teacher on how to support student according to their strengths and needs. My student has been assessed for the following dimension: 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. His/her profile is as follows: Speaks excessively: Speaking rapidly and/or non-stop to the extent that it is virtually impossible to understand what is being said. Create a guide that I can use and share to best support my student. The guide MUST have the following structure: 1. Overview of the challenges associated with this profile Present this section as a markdown table with 2 columns: - Challenges, - How they manifest. 2. Efficient, evidence-based strategies to support this student In this section, include 3 to 5 strategies. Each strategy must have: - A title, - A brief description and why it is efficient, - Specific implementation steps, - Parameters to monitor and adjust. Present this information in a markdown table with 4 columns. Each strategy must be sustainable and easy to implement in the classroom, and lead to this student nurturing his strengths and building resilience. 3. Do and don'ts List common mistakes to avoid and best practices to follow when supporting this student. Present this information in a markdown table with 2 columns. 4. Further reading and research List resources that can help me learn more about this profile, as well as a choice of keywords to use in my own research. Be concise and use simple language. Prefer using bullet points and/or markdown tables instead of long text paragraphs.
- Overview of the challenges associated with this profile.
Challenges | How they Manifest |
---|---|
Ineffective Communication | Students who speak excessively often articulate ideas hastily and without clear structure, making it challenging for listeners to understand their message. |
Difficulty Engaging in Group Work | They often dominate conversations, not allowing others to share their thoughts and potentially disturbing the group dynamics. |
Limited Attention Span | Speaking rapidly and non-stop can be a sign of not being able to maintain focus, leading to potential learning difficulties. |
- Efficient, evidence-based strategies to support the student
Title | Description and Efficiency | Implementation Steps | Parameters to Monitor and Adjust |
---|---|---|---|
Explicit Teaching of Turn-Taking Skills | It enhances the child's ability to engage in conversations appropriately. It fosters patience and listening skills. | a. Before a group discussion, remind the student about conversational manners. b. Coach them on respectful listening when others are speaking. c. Use prompts or visual aids (like a talking stick). | Monitor the student's ability to wait for their turn in conversations and make adjustments if necessary. |
Structured Communication | It helps students organize their thoughts and communicate more succinctly. | a. Teach the student to use graphic organizers before speaking. b. Encourage "Top 3 Points" method - limiting comments to three main ideas. | Assess the clarity and organization of the student's speech; adjust teaching methods based on progress. |
Short, Focused Tasks | These keep students engaged without overwhelming them, reducing excessive speech due to anxiety or over-stimulation. | a. Divide lessons into shorter tasks. b. Give clear, concise instructions. | Monitor task completion and attention level; adjust task length as necessary. |
- Do and don'ts
Do's | Don'ts |
---|---|
Do model clear, succinct speaking in your interactions. | Don't scold or embarrass the student for excessive talking. |
Do provide regular breaks to the student to regulate speech quantity. | Don't ignore the behavior hoping it will resolve on its own. |
Do provide positive feedback when the student makes improvements. | Don't cut the student off mid-sentence; instead, use a signal to remind them to slow down. |
