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.

View prompt

I am a 6th grade math 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 6th grade math teacher on how to support student according to their strengths and needs.

My student has been assessed for the following dimension:

Social Communication - communication enabling social interactions: Social functioning is the ability to share thoughts, needs, ideas, and behaviors. Social communication includes words and gestures in conjunction with an "invitation" to respond, as well as the willingness to receive and accept social responses. This leads to reciprocity, or "turn-taking," the repeated exchanges of thoughts, needs, ideas, and behaviors that form the basis of conversation, discussion, collaborative work, and play.

His/her profile is as follows:

Communication lacks reciprocity and social appropriateness: Individuals whose actions and behaviors disrupt social communication, making it difficult, if not impossible to establish and/or sustain functional social relationships. These behaviors include inconsistent language, visual regard, inability or refusal to share interests, unable or unwilling to vary social behaviors when misunderstood, or being solely interested in oneself and one's own interests.

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.

2. Efficient, evidence-based strategies to support this student

Strategy TitleDescription and EfficacyImplementation StepsParameters to Monitor and Adjust
Structured LearningOffers predictable routine, reducing anxiety. Boosts comprehension.- Implement consistent daily schedules.- Use visual supports.- Teach masterable micro-skills.Monitor progress and adjust lessons according to student’s performance.
Social StoriesHelps child understand social cues.- Create simple, illustrative stories.- Regularly engage the student with these stories.Adjust story elements as per student's comprehension and behavioral changes.
Video ModelingVisual learning can stimulate understanding and imitation.- Show videos succinctly demonstrating the desired behavior.- Encourage the student to enact the behavior.Monitor student's emulation accuracy and make video adjustments accordingly.
Joint Attention TrainingEnhances shared focus and engagement.- Use toys or activities that the child likes.- Try to attract child’s attention to the object.- Once you have their attention, encourage interaction with the object.Monitor child’s development of joint attention and adjust the objects or activities accordingly.
