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.

His/her profile is as follows:

Overly cautious; refuses to take any chances: Some individuals either lack the ability or are unwilling to recognize unreasonable risk or danger in most situations. As a result, they fail to properly assess the risks intrinsic to a situation leading to taking chances well in excess of the potential benefit in a given situation, leading to unnecessary waste of resources or to harm to the individual or others.

  1. Overview of the challenges associated with this profile
ChallengesHow they manifest
Fear of FailureThe student avoids tasks or situations that are challenging or unfamiliar, lowering their exposure to learning opportunities.
AnxietyFear of mistakes can lead to anxiety, often exhibiting as avoidance, restlessness, or specific worries about school tasks.
Stifled CreativityTheir decision-making could be hindered due to excessive fear of acting out-of-the-box or innovating in their approach.
Low self-confidenceConstantly avoiding risks could lead to low self-esteem and a lack of self-belief.
  1. Efficient, evidence-based strategies to support this student
TitleDescriptionImplementation StepsMonitoring Parameters
Small Steps ApproachHelp the student to risk taking by breaking down tasks into smaller, less intimidating pieces.Start with easy tasks, gradually increasing the difficulty level while maintaining a supportive environment.Monitor the student's confidence and anxiety levels. Adjust the difficulty of tasks as needed
Reinforcement techniqueUse positive reinforcement to foster risk-taking behaviour.Reward the student when they take calculated risks even when they fail.Look at the student's response to reinforcement and their willingness to take risks. Adjust the frequency and type of rewards if required.
Challenge FramingReframe the notion of failure, depicting it as a learning opportunity rather than a deficit.Encourage the student to view mistakes as part of the learning process.Monitor the student's perception of failure and adjust conversations accordingly.
Role Play ScenariosTo help the student acquire a balanced risk-assessment skill through observing and learning.Create various situations to explore outcomes and possible risks in a safe environment.Observe the student's responses in these scenarios and adjust scenarios as necessary.
  1. Do's and Don'ts
Do'sDon'ts
Do provide a safe and supportive environment to explore and express capabilities.Don't emphasize perfectionism; not every task has to result in success.
Do encourage small risk-taking actions and applaud efforts, not just results.Don't push too hard or create too much pressure, which may cause the student to withdraw.
Do communicate regularly about their feelings or fear.Don't compare their progress with other students; each child is unique.
