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 6th 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 6th grade math 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.

1. Overview of the challenges associated with this profile

ChallengesHow they manifest
Difficulty in recognizing lettersDifficulty in spelling and reading words
Difficulty in recognizing wordsInability to understand written materials
Problem in understanding grammarIncorrect sentence formation and Meaning interpretation
Challenges in comprehensionDifficulty in following written directions

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

TitleDescription & EfficiencyImplementation StepsParameters to Monitor & Adjust
Multisensory LearningStimulating multiple senses can improve comprehension. Very effective for students with reading difficulties as they learn by touching, hearing and seeing.1. Combine visual inputs (like letter cards) with auditory inputs (sounds of letters). 2. Encourage tracing letters while saying the corresponding sound.Assess the improvement in recognizing letters and sounds. Adjust the materials based on the student's preference.
Phonemic Awareness TrainingThis strategy aids in improving the understanding of the sound structure of language. Proven to be efficient in improving reading abilities.1. Use phonics games and exercises. 2. Gradually introduce them to reading simple words. 3. Develop this into understanding larger chunks of words and sentences.Monitor the student's ability to understand and use sounds to form words. Adjust the difficulty level of the tasks based on improvement.
Modified MaterialInvolves modification of teaching materials with larger print, different fonts or highlighted keywords. This is efficient in aiding recognition.1. Create handouts or flashcards with one sentence at a time with larger fonts. 2. Highlight a few key words in each sentence. 3. Gradually expose the student to more complex sentences.Keep a track of the degree of comfort with different font sizes and complexity of materials.

3. Do and don'ts

Do'sDon'ts
Do patiently repeat reading exercises, some students require extra repetition.Don't show frustration or anger when the student struggles with reading.
Do use visual aids to support teaching.Don't rush the student to read faster.
Do provide positive reinforcement when the students makes progress.Don't compare the student's progress with others in a negative manner.
