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.

View prompt

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:

Perseverance - persisting when undertaking tasks: Perseverance is the ability to keep working on tasks, even in the face of obstacles such as distractions, difficulties, and delays. Determination and commitment to acquiring knowledge and skills is a powerful force for most youth, however, it requires the ability to stay focused on a task and continue working, even in the face of interference and disruptions.

His/her profile is as follows:

Flexibly persists in attempting appropriate tasks: Typically developing children will persist in task completion and learning if they find them appealing, interesting or useful. In the absence of this appeal, external forces including mentorship, advertising, social media, and even games can create interest so that youth will be willing to overcome obstacles to pursuing knowledge, skills, objects, or other goals.

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.

1. Overview of the challenges associated with this profile

ChallengesHow they manifest
Lack of interest in tasksThe student may not show any or only partial interest in tasks that they do not find appealing, its significance can reflects in their attitude towards the tasks and overall engagement.
Dependence on extrinsic motivationThe student may require external motivators (mentorship, advertising, social media, games) to persist in task completion and learning.
Difficulty in task persistenceThe student may struggle to stay focused on a task when facing obstacles, leading to limited perseverance towards task completion.

2. Efficient strategies to support this student

Strategy TitleDescription and EfficiencyImplementation StepsParameters to Monitor and Adjust
Setting achievable goalsSpecific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and timely (SMART) goals can foster interest and motivate students. Goals give a clear direction and end point.1. Discuss with the student about their interests and aspirations. 2. Based on these insights, set SMART goals. 3. Regularly review progress and adjust goals accordingly.Observe student’s engagement and motivation. Check academic progress regularly and adjust goals as needed.
Use of intrinsic reward systemIntrinsic motivation is a long-term motivator. Pride, satisfaction, and a sense of accomplishment can motivate the student more efficiently.1. Praise effort not just outcomes. 2. Introduce self-reflection where students can acknowledge their own progress.Monitor the student’s response to the reward system. Gauge the level of self-motivation and adjust the approach if necessary.
Applying interests in learningMaking connections between the student's interests and math concepts can increase task appeal.1. Learn about the student’s interests. 2. Integrate relevant concepts in problem solving and tasks.Check for increased engagement. Regularly seek feedback from the student on the effectiveness of this approach.

3. Do and Don'ts

Do'sDon'ts
Praise the effort, persistence and strategies.Avoid praising just the outcomes.
Consistently communicate with the student about their goals.Don’t set goals for the student without their input.
