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 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: Reading - cognitive and mechanical elements of reading comprehension: Reading is the ability to decode written symbols for purposes of communication and learning. While reading most commonly focuses on symbols referred to as "letters" or "characters" from alphabets, in fact, decoding any symbols is a form of reading, including symbols such as logos, flags, and other devices. Reading most languages requires understanding of components of writing including grammar, syntax, punctuation, sentences, paragraphs etc. His/her profile is as follows: Unable to recognize letters, words, and/or grammar for reading comprehension: The inability, or unwillingness, to recognize the symbols to be decoded as letters or other symbols, necessary for interpreting written communication. 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.
Overview of the challenges associated with this profile
Challenges | How they manifest |
---|---|
Difficulty with visual recognition of symbols/letters. | Child may struggle to identify letters or symbols, or confuse one for another. |
Lack of comprehension. | Child can read words but not understand their meaning or can't make sense of sentences and paragraphs. |
Physical discomfort or stress while reading. | Child might avoid tasks that involve reading, complain of tiredness or eye strain. |
Efficient, evidence-based strategies to support this student
Title | Description | Implementation | Monitoring |
---|---|---|---|
1. Systematic Phonics Instruction | This method helps children understand the relationship between letters and sounds. | Step 1: Start by teaching the child the sounds of the letters. Step 2: Once the child has mastered recognizing letters and their sounds, start combining letters to form words. Step 3: Gradually increase complexity by adding more sounds and word parts. | Track the child's progress by regularly assessing the child’s ability to sound out words and read simple sentences. |
2. Visual Memory Strengthening | Visual memory plays a crucial role in reading. | Step 1: Use memory games like 'concentration'. Step 2: Let the child visualize words and associate them with images. Step 3: Use flashcards or worksheets for recognizing and matching patterns. | Assess the child’s ability to remember and quickly recognize shapes, letters, numbers seen previously. |
3. Reading Comprehension Strategy | This strategy can be helpful once the child is able to recognize words and is ready to tackle sentences. | Step 1: Start by reading a sentence or a small paragraph and ask the student to explain what it means. Step 2: Discuss difficult words or phrases. Step 3: Gradually increase the length of the text being read. | Assess the child's understanding of what they read through oral or written summaries. |
