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 want to help my children/student in the following, more specific area:Help

Eating - maintaining dietary intake and nutrition
Eating is a complex behavior that has both nutritional and social components. The nutritional component is the appropriate consumption of both calories (for energy) and the elements of the diet (protein, vitamins, minerals, fats, carbohydrates, etc.) necessary for maintaining healthy function. There are two main social components of eating: the social interactions associated with the preparation and consumption of food, and the cultural elements associated with menus, dining schedules, and food consumption (e.g., Kosher, Hallal, vegan/vegetarian, etc.) Food preparation and dining are often social experiences that reflect culture and other expectations for cooperation and sharing of both food and conversation, as well as engagement in a variety of behaviors directly associated with eating, such as use of specific utensils (chopsticks, fork, spoon, hands, etc.), cleanliness, order, and the nature of physical presence (e.g., sitting in a chair, standing, walking, sitting cross-legged on the floor, use of a particular hand, etc.) Appropriate participation in all elements of eating are important for health and happiness.
Sexual/Gender Identity and Behavior - expressing age-appropriate sexual/gender identity and behavior
Sexual behavior includes behaviors that are related to an individual's particular individual "sexual identity." While there are generally male and female biological differences amongst humans, there exists a broad spectrum of gender-related behaviors that are "assigned" or "learned," based on cultural and social expectations in a community, not infrequently independent of "sex assigned at birth." Some behaviors appear to be "assigned," and are often considered "conventional." When there are variations that don't meet social expectations, it can cause discomfort - for children, peers, and/or adults - and can lead to adverse outcomes like bullying, discrimination and social isolation. Examples of these are so-called "effeminate" males or "masculine" females. Most "unconventional" gender behaviors are not abnormal but simply represent the broad variation in expressions of identity.
Sensory reactivity - Response to sensory input (touch, taste, smell, sight, hearing, and somatic)
There is enormous individual variability in the perception and ability to interpret and respond to sensory input. Sensations typically includes the five senses (e.g., touch, taste, smell, sight, and hearing), however, somatic perceptions (e.g., pain, heart rate, respiratory rate, kinesthetics, etc.) are often sensed quite acutely, and can modulate emotions, cognitions, and behavior. Precision in the identification of sensory inputs and the reaction to them is essential for safe interactions with the environment as well as appropriate social function.

In this area, my children/student displays the following behavior:Help

Unresponsive to sensory input
Some individuals do not react to sensory stimuli, including pain, touch, and smell. This limits their ability to take protective actions and modify behavior to be appropriate in social situations.
Adaptively responds to sensory input
Individuals are aware of and modulate their reactions to a full spectrum of sensory inputs. They have flexible and appropriate responses to sensations and regulate social, behavioral, and emotional reactions to sensory input, consistent with the stimulus, context, cultural norms, and social expectations.
Hyperresponsive to sensory input, disrupting adaptive function
Some individuals cannot modulate responses to sensory inputs, such that even modest sensory stimulation can disrupt functioning and lead to behaviors that may jeopardize safety, interfere with social function, and limit access to personal needs and activities. This includes extremes in emotional and behavioral responses to minimal sensory input.

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:

Sensory reactivity - Response to sensory input (touch, taste, smell, sight, hearing, and somatic): There is enormous individual variability in the perception and ability to interpret and respond to sensory input. Sensations typically includes the five senses (e.g., touch, taste, smell, sight, and hearing), however, somatic perceptions (e.g., pain, heart rate, respiratory rate, kinesthetics, etc.) are often sensed quite acutely, and can modulate emotions, cognitions, and behavior. Precision in the identification of sensory inputs and the reaction to them is essential for safe interactions with the environment as well as appropriate social function.

Overview of the challenges associated with this profile

Challenges	How they manifest
Lack of reaction for safety and protection	They may face potential hazards as they do not react to harmful factors like heat, noise, etc.
Difficulty establishing social relations	Their limited response to physical or sensory interactions can distance them from social activities.
Inappropriate behavior in social situations	Without the ability to interpret social cues through sensory data, they might behave in ways considered socially inappropriate.

Efficient, evidence-based strategies to support this student

Strategy Title	Description and Efficiency	Implementation Steps	Parameters to Monitor and Adjust
Intensive Sensory Therapy	An approach that leverages occupational therapy to enhance sensory reactions and interpret sensory data efficiently.	* Create a sensory-rich environment * Facilitate activities like crafting, drawing, and other tactile experiences.	Monitor the student's reactions. Encourage their reactions and gradually introduce new stimuli.
Social Story Teaching	This strategy 'normalizes' social situations via narratives.	* Use storybooks or YouTube to illustrate different social scenarios.* Discuss the scenarios emphasizing sensory inputs and expected reactions.	Evaluate how the child applies these scenarios in real-life situations, adjusting the complexity of the scenarios as needed.
Mindful Observations	This strategy encourages the child to become more aware of their senses.	* Designate a time each day for mindful observation.* Facilitate activities where the child uses one sense at a time, narrating what they are feeling or experiencing.	Adjust the frequency and the duration as per the child’s comfort level and adaptability.
Use of Adapted Equipment	Things like weighted vests or fidget tools can help the student feel more 'grounded'.	* Consult with an occupational therapist for suitable equipment. * Integrate the use of equipment in regular classroom activities.	Observe if there is any improvement in the student's response or behavior. Make necessary modifications.

Do and don'ts

Do's	Don'ts
Be patient and understanding	Do not force them to react or participate
Encourage gradual exposure to varied sensory inputs	Do not overwhelm them with a sudden rush of sensory data
Communicate with parents and therapist regularly	Do not ignore signs of discomfort or distress
Include them in social activities	Do not ostracize them due to their different reactions
