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.

- Overview of the challenges associated with this profile
Challenges | How they manifest |
---|---|
Lack of Self-Confidence | The student tends to avoid tasks at the simplest level due to a low sense of self-efficacy. |
Fear of Failure | There's an underlying fear of failure that is causing inaction. The student might believe that, if they do not try, they cannot fail. |
Lack of Motivation | The student displays a decided lack of interest or effort in trying to accomplish tasks. |
Task Avoidance | Even simple tasks are avoided, which can be an indicator of various possible issues including low self-confidence or a lack of understanding of the task. |
- Efficient, evidence-based strategies to support this student
Title | Description and Efficiency | Implementation Steps | Parameters to Monitor |
---|---|---|---|
Reinforcing Effort and Providing Recognition | Recognizing and rewarding effort can build students' confidence and encourage them to attempt tasks. | Celebrate attempts and effort alongside success. Use verbal acknowledgement, reward systems or showcasing their work. Be specific about why they are being praised. | Observe any changes in student's willingness to undertake tasks, and their reaction to praise and recognition. Adjust the rewards to what the student values. |
Incremental Task Difficulty | Beginning with simpler tasks that gradually increase in difficulty can help bolster their confidence. | Start with easy tasks that the student can succeed at. Gradually increase the complexity of tasks while continuing to provide encouragement and praise. | Monitor the student’s progress and achievement at each level of difficulty. Be ready to adjust the task complexity as needed. |
Role Modeling and Mutual Learning | Seeing others (peers or adults) face challenges and recover from failures can be extremely motivational for a student. | Arrange for the student to work with peers or mentors who model good perseverance skills. Organize mutual learning opportunities. | Monitor the student's reaction to role models. Note any changes in their willingness to take on tasks. |
Emphasize Learning, Not Just Grades | Shifting the focus from getting the correct answer to learning and understanding the process can reduce fear of failure. | Encourage the student to see mistakes as learning opportunities. Discuss why an answer is correct, not just whether it is. | Monitor the student's understanding of concepts, not just correct answers. Note changes in their approach to tasks. |
