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 12th 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 12th grade math teacher on how to support student according to their strengths and needs. My student has been assessed for the following dimension: Social Engagement - engaging in social behavior: Social engagement is the combination of intent to form and maintain social interactions combined with the appropriate and flexible application of social speech, cues, gestures, and behaviors (e.g., smiling, visual regard, hand shaking/bowing, etc.). Social engagement directs these behaviors toward individuals or groups, with the goal of establishing and maintaining reciprocal, social transactions and relationships. <h3><slot data-nx-ref="value-0"></slot></h3> <slot data-nx-ref="value-0-desc"></slot> <h3><slot data-nx-ref="value-50"></slot></h3> <slot data-nx-ref="value-50-desc"></slot> <h3><slot data-nx-ref="value-100"></slot></h3> <slot data-nx-ref="value-100-desc"></slot> His/her profile is as follows: Does not engage socially: Is aware of social interactions.

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.

- Overview of the challenges associated with this profile
Challenges | How they manifest |
---|---|
Lack of social rules comprehension | The student is aware of social interactions and displays interest in participation, but fails to follow the expected rules, leading to inappropriate or excessive social behaviors. |
Inability to maintain social interactions | Even though the student is able to recognize and produce social cues, they struggle to sustain interpersonal engagements which could lead to social isolation. |
Difficulty in contextually appropriate behavior | The student struggles with adapting their behavior according to the social situation – what may seem appropriate to them might not be considered as such by others. |
- Efficient, evidence-based strategies to support this student
Title | Description and Efficacy | Implementation Steps | Parameters to Monitor and Adjust |
---|---|---|---|
Social Stories | These are individualized short stories that depict a social situation that the student might find challenging. They provide guidance about what to do in that situation and why. They're effective because they provide clear and personalized guidance in terms the student can understand. | Write or find stories that reflect the situations the student struggles with. Review them with the student regularly. | Monitor how well the student comprehends the stories, and how well they translate that comprehension to real-life situations. Adjust the complexity or details as required. |
Peer-mediated Instruction | This strategy involves training peer classmates to interact with the student in ways that promote social skill development. It's effective because classmates are often more influential than adults, and the skills are learned in a natural, peer-based context. | Select several empathetic, socially competent peers. Train them in the key social skills the student needs help with. Arrange for structured and unstructured interactions between them. | Regularly review peer and student interactions, and the student's social skills progress. Adjust peer training as required. |
Visual Supports | Visual aids—like schedules, social scripts, and cues—can clarify social expectations and facilitate appropriate behavior. They are efficient because they offer constant reminders in an easy-to-digest format. | Identify the situations where the student needs support. Create visual supports reflecting these situations and go over them with the student. Keep them visible in the classroom. | Monitor how well the student is able to use these supports independently and understand their content. Customize if needed. |
- Do and don'ts
Do's | Don'ts |
---|---|
Do provide clear, concise instructions for social interactions. | Don't overwhelm the student with a ton of social rules at once. |
Do celebrate small victories to build up the student's confidence. | Don't expect immediate change. Social skills take time to develop. |
Do model appropriate behavior - students often learn best by example. | Don't punish the student for social mistakes. Instead, use them as learning opportunities. |
