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:

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:

Reading is efficient, effective, and developmentally/age appropriate: Reading requires not only recognition of the symbols, including letters, as well as the rules joining them to make written, communicative language that is decoded by "reading." Efficient and effective readers read with precision, but also implicitly comprehend even when they do not decode each and every symbol.

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.

I am glad to hear your student is efficient and effective in their reading ability. This strong reading competence suggests that the challenges you may encounter will not be tied to the initial recognition of symbols or comprehension of language, but perhaps towards nurturing advanced reading skills and maintaining their motivation and interest.

Overview of the challenges associated with this profile

ChallengesHow they Manifest
Sustaining interestStudents may find classroom texts monotonous or too easy, leading to boredom.
Expanding VocabularyThe student may not encounter new vocabulary and comprehension challenges within their current reading level.
Cultivating Advanced Reading SkillsThe student may lack opportunities to develop more sophisticated reading strategies, including making inferences or assumptions about the content

Efficient evidence-based strategies to support the student

TitleDescriptionImplementation StepsParameters to Monitor and Adjust
Differentiated InstructionTailor instruction to meet individual needs. This enables the students to work on their level and challenge them accordinglyEvaluate your student's reading level regularly. Provide them with more complex texts or additional workbooks that match or slightly exceed their current reading level.Pay attention to indicators of boredom or frustration. If a text is too complex, they may get discouraged. If it’s too easy, they may lose their interest.
Vocabulary BuildingBuilding vocabulary will enhance the student's understanding of language and ability to communicate effectively.Encourage the use of a personal dictionary where students can note down new words, their meanings, and use them in context. Involve the student in activities such as word games, crossword puzzles which will foster vocabulary enrichment.Monitor the student's usage of new words in writing and in speech. If the student is not integrating new words, examine the methods being used to introduce these words.
Promoting Inferential Reading SkillsThe student already has a strong basis in reading. They can be encouraged to formulate ideas, make assumptions, and find information that is indirectly providedIncorporate ‘read and respond’ activities into the student's routine. Ask them questions about the text that are inferential in nature.Monitor their comfort level and effectiveness in responding to inferential questions. Adjust the difficulty level of the questions accordingly.

Do's and Don'ts

Do'sDon'ts
Challenge and engage the student with more complex resources.Don’t assume that the student has no room for improvement just because they are proficient at reading.
Encourage the student to explore different genres and forms of literatureDon’t stick to a single type or level of reading material.
