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 2nd grade 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 2nd grade teacher on how to support student according to their strengths and needs.

My student has been assessed for the following dimension:

Mathematics - cognitively and mechanically performing mathematical operations: Math, or arithmetic, is the ability to manage numerical and/or quantitative ideas, both conceptually and in graphical representations. Mathematical skills evolve over time, beginning using numbers for the concrete counting of objects, evolving into the appreciation that numbers can represent various constructs such as quantity, time, space, etc., that can be manipulated through mathematical operations. Success with math can be confounded by writing difficulty as "imprecise" presentation of numbers leads to errors.

<slot data-nx-ref="value-50-desc"></slot>
<h3><slot data-nx-ref="value-100"></slot></h3>
<slot data-nx-ref="value-100-desc"></slot>

His/her profile is as follows:

Unable to understand numbers and variables, and/or to perform mathematical operations and/or processes: Inability to count or use numbers to express constructs, such quantity, time, and space.

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
Struggling with basic math conceptsThe student may have difficulty understanding the basic math process, such as addition and subtraction, and may be unable to perform these operations correctly.
Difficulty understanding number valueThe student may have difficulty recognizing the value of numbers, i.e, understanding that the number '2' is less than '3'.
Difficulty recognizing mathematical symbolsThe student can struggle to recognize and understand the meaning of basic mathematical symbols like '+', '-', '*', and '/'.
Problem solving difficultiesThe student may struggle with word problems or more complex mathematical equations.
Trouble with spatial tasksThe student may struggle with tasks that involve reasoning about space and the relationships between shapes.

2. Efficient, evidence-based strategies to support this student

TitleDescription and efficiencyImplementation stepsMonitoring and adjustment parameters
Hands-on LearningVisualization and manipulatives can concretely demonstrate mathematical concepts. This tactile approach can help the student grasp abstract ideas.Use physical props like counting cubes, number lines, and fraction manipulatives. Incorporate visuals in lesson guides.Monitor progress by watching the student's ease of using manipulatives. Adjust the types of tools used based on effectiveness.
Step-by-Step InstructionWith complex problems, it helps to break them down into manageable parts. The student can then tackle each part individually.Break down math problems step by step. Encourage the student to solve problems in the same systematic manner.Monitor whether the student successfully understands and applies each step. Adjust complexity and pace as needed.
Use Real-World ExamplesApplying math to real-world situations can make learning more relevant, practical and understandable.Incorporate math vocabulary and problems into daily activities. Example: asking how much change they would get back after buying an item.Monitor the student's ability to apply mathematical concepts in real life. Adjust complexity and practicality as needed.

3. Do's and Don'ts

Do'sDon'ts
Provide clear and coherent instructionsAvoid assuming prior knowledge
Use multimodal ways of instruction e.g., visuals, auditory, touchAvoid teaching in only one style
Give consistent and positive reinforcementAvoid negatively framing wrong answers
Provide additional time to complete tasksDo not rush the student to understand or complete an activity

4. Further reading and research

  • The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) has several resources and research articles about teaching math to students at different grade levels.
  • The Understood Team. (2014). At a Glance: Classroom Accommodations for Dyscalculia.
  • Use keywords like "math difficulties", "teaching math to struggling students", "elementary math concepts" in your research.
