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 want to help my children/student in the following, more specific area:Help

Emotional regulation and reactivity - managing threshold and intensity of emotional responses
Emotions are strong feelings derived from internal and external stimuli that are reflected in mood and responsive to environmental factors and relationships with others. These feelings may range broadly and include joy, happiness, love, euphoria, anxiety, sadness, fear, loss, and many more. These emotions play a critical role in social communication, motivation, and protection. However, in order to maintain adaptive functioning, emotions require careful regulation in terms of type, intensity, and duration of emotional expression, each of which must be sensitive to environmental, social, and cultural factors.
Worries/Anxiety - managing worries and anxiety
Worries are the result of fears or anxiety. The stimulus for worries can be internal or external. External worries often come from frightening or forbidden objects or events. Internal worries are often associated with self-doubt or lack of confidence, as well as legitimate concerns about objects or events from the past or anticipated in the future. Worries come in many forms, and while they generally reflect internal feeling states, they are commonly expressed as behaviors including the appearance of being anxious, excess vocalization of the worry, or avoidance.
Attachment - having attachments to family, peers, and adults
Attachment is the strong, bilateral, emotional connection between humans (and other animals). Initially, this connection is with the individual's primary caregivers, but it rapidly expands to include others important to the life of the individual. In humans, attachments usually begin in the first days of life, becoming more socially, emotionally, and behaviorally complex over time.
Empathy - having sensitivity to the feelings and needs of others
having sensitivity to the feelings and needs of others
Irritability - reacting to frustration or annoyance
Irritability is a feeling of agitation and annoyance in response to a stimulus or stress. Irritability can be an appropriate response to an offensive social or physical stimulus that becomes problematic. The appropriateness varies based on the intensity and persistence of the stimulus, as well as the social context. Irritability can range from a mild facial expression or gesture to a massive outpouring of emotions.
Stress Management - managing tension resulting from challenges or demands
Stress is a feeling of emotional or physical tension that is the body's reaction to an internal or external challenge or demand. The internal factors can be thoughts, ideas, emotions, or even cognitive and emotional challenges. External factors may include leisure, work, or social demands. The response to stress can be both cognitive-emotional, as well as physiologic. Stress responses are adaptive when they are developmentally and behaviorally appropriate to the intensity, complexity, and duration of the demand or challenge.

In this area, my children/student displays the following behavior:Help

Insensitive to others
Some individuals are not able or are unwilling to perceive the emotions and emotional states of others, as a result, they appear insensitive and unresponsive in most social situations.
Adaptively, flexibly sensitive to feelings and needs of others
Successful social adaptation requires sensitivity to the considerable variations in the ability and need to understand the emotions and emotional states of others. This level of emotional sensitivity varies based on the capacity and desire of one person to adaptively perceive and flexibly respond to the emotional state of another. It also depends on the willingness and ability of one person to share their emotions with others.
Hypersensitive to feelings or needs of others
Erroneous perceptions or over-reaction to the emotions or emotional state of others interferes with social relationships and often leads to conflicts or behavioral disruptions that interfere with functional adaptation in many aspects of daily life, including home, school, work, and community interactions.

Overview of the challenges associated with this profile

Challenges	How they manifest
Sensory Overload	Students with a heightened sensitivity to the emotions and needs of others may absorb too much emotional energy, which can lead to exhaustion, anxiety, or depression.
Difficulty Setting Boundaries	They may struggle to distinguish their own feelings from those of others, essentially taking on others' emotions as their own, leading to confusion or emotional distress.
Social Isolation	They may withdraw from others to avoid being overwhelmed, leading to isolation.

Efficient, evidence-based strategies

Strategy Title	Description and Rationale	Implementation Steps	Parameters to Monitor
Emotional Literacy Training	Teaching students to name, understand, and manage their feelings. This helps them recognize and manage emotional overload.	1. Integrate emotional literacy into daily lessons. 2. Explicitly teach different emotions and coping strategies. 3. Encourage students to express their emotions in constructive ways.	Monitor for improved emotional understanding and application of coping strategies.
Boundary Setting	Helps students to distinguish their own feelings from those of others and protect their emotional well-being.	1. Teach students about the concept of emotional boundaries. 2. Encourage them to practice saying "no" and standing up for their emotional needs.	Look for decreased emotional distress and improved communication about their own needs.
Mindfulness Practices	Mindfulness can help students learn to control their emotional responses and avoid being overwhelmed.	1. Practice mindfulness exercises like deep breathing or meditation in class. 2. Encourage students to practice mindfulness when they start feeling overwhelmed.	Assess mindfulness skills and monitor any changes in emotional regulation.

Do's and Don'ts

Do	Don’t
Encourage the student to express their emotions in constructive ways.	Don't dismiss the student's feelings, no matter how intense they may seem.
Check in regularly with the student to see how they are coping.	Don't force the student to participate in group work if they are feeling overwhelmed.
Provide downtime after emotionally intense activities.	Don't assume the student can just 'brush off' intense feelings.
