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.

  1. Overview of the challenges associated with this profile
ChallengesHow they manifest
Underestimation of abilitiesComing off as overly modest, the student may not strive for higher goals as they believe they don't possess the necessary skills or knowledge.
Overestimation of abilitiesBy misjudging their own capabilities, students could take on more than they can handle, leading to failure that could further undermine confidence.
Risk-aversionIf the student doubts their abilities, they may avoid challenging tasks to spare themselves the risk of failure.
PerfectionismAs they can accurately assess their abilities, they may hold themselves to exacting standards that can create undue stress.
Overall emotional impactIssues with self-confidence can lead to anxiety and depression, or even spawn other behavioral problems.
  1. Efficient, evidence-based strategies to support this student
TitleDescription and EfficiencyImplementation StepsParameters to Monitor and Adjust
Goal SettingThis helps students increase their perceived competence by reaching smaller goals gradually. It encourages them to strive for more by boosting their confidence with small victories.- Help students set realistic and measurable short-term goals. - Celebrate when they reach those goals. - Gradually set more complex goals.Monitor their progress toward goals, adjust if they are too easy or too hard, and observe changes in their self-confidence.
Cognitive RestructuringThis teaches them to identify negative thoughts about their abilities and replace them with positive, rational ones. This will improve their self-efficacy and reduce stress and anxiety.- Teach students to identify negative self-talk. - Have them write down these thoughts and how they can change them. - Encourage them to use this new dialogue in challenging situations.Monitor frequency of negative thoughts and changes in stress or anxiety levels.
Growth Mindset DevelopmentThis promotes an understanding that abilities can grow and develop, helping boost confidence.- Teach students that skills and intelligence can be improved with effort and time. - Encourage them to view challenges as opportunities for growth, rather than threats. - Reward effort and progress, not just results.Monitor changes in their approach to hard tasks and overall attitude toward learning.
