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 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 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. Can produce and recognize social cues and behaviors while having an interest in participation, however, is not able to follow social rules or use contextually appropriate behaviors to engage in or maintain social interactions. Failure to follow the rules may make attempts at social interactions to appear excessive, intrusive, or inappropriate. 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 |
---|---|
Difficulty following social rules | The student may engage in behaviors that can seem intrusive or inappropriate to others. For example, a student might continuously interrupt or speak out of turn, or may have trouble understanding boundaries in personal space. |
Difficulties with social interactions | Even though the student has an interest in social interactions, they may have challenges maintaining these interactions. This can result in being unable to respond appropriately to others or maintain ongoing conversations. |
Difficulties in using contextually appropriate behaviours | The student may struggle to pick up on social cues, resulting in a lack of understanding of social expectations in different scenarios and situations. |
- Efficient, evidence-based strategies to support this student
Title | Description & Why it is efficient | Implementation Steps | Parameters to monitor and adjust |
---|---|---|---|
Direct Instruction | Explicitly teaching the rules and nuances of social interaction can give the student a clearer understanding of expectations. | Break down social rules into simple, concrete steps, and teach them during calm and focused moments. Use role plays or social stories to provide concrete examples. | Monitor the student's comfort level with role-plays and adjust the complexity of scenarios based on their comprehension and comfort. |
Social Scripts | Scripts help provide a predictable and understandable interaction pattern for the student. | Create a few simple scripts for common social situations. Practice these scripts regularly with the student. | Monitor how the student is using the script - is it helping, or is the student becoming too reliant on it? Adjust the script as necessary. |
Peer modeling | Through observing their fellow students, the student can learn appropriate social behavior. | Identify socially savvy peers and ask them to help model appropriate social interactions. The student can observe and later join in these interactions. | Monitor the student's comfort level around peers, and their understanding of the behaviors being modeled. |
- Do and don'ts
Do's | Don'ts |
---|---|
Acknowledge and praise appropriate behaviors as they occur. This positive reinforcement can motivate the student to continue the behavior. | Don't punish or call out socially inappropriate behaviors in public. Instead, discuss these issues privately and with sensitivity. |
Be patient and consistent in teaching and reinforcing social behavior. Changes in social behavior occur slowly and gradually. | Don't expect immediate changes. Social learning is a gradual process. |
