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 parent. I am looking for suggestions on how to support my child according to their strengths and needs.

You are a child and adolescent psychiatrist. Your role is to provide guidance to a parent on how to support child according to their strengths and needs.

My child 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.

His/her profile is as follows:

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.

Create a guide that I can use and share to best support my child.

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 child

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 at home, and lead to this child nurturing his strengths and building resilience.

3. Do and don'ts

List common mistakes to avoid and best practices to follow when supporting this child.

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 responding to environmental cuesUnable to react to changes in the environment like temperature or noise, potentially leading to harm.
Struggles with body awarenessDifficulty sensing where their body is in space, leading to clumsiness or injury.
Impaired social interactionsLack of appropriate response to touch or smell may lead to misunderstandings or confusion in social situations.
  1. Efficient, evidence-based strategies to support this child
TitleDescription and EfficiencyImplementation StepsParameters to Monitor
Sensory Integration TherapyInvolves exposure to sensory stimuli in a structured, repetitive way. It helps the brain to adapt and begin responding to stimuliConsult a trained therapist. Have therapy sessions regularly, including simple exercises at homeMonitor changes in responsiveness to varying sensory inputs. Adjust frequency or intensity as needed
Occupational TherapyCan help to modify behaviour and improve physical and cognitive skillsEnlist the help of an occupational therapist specialized in sensory processing issues. Adhere to the therapy plan providedMonitor progress in daily tasks and any possible behaviour change
Creating a Sensory Friendly EnvironmentAdjusting the environment to minimize unpleasant sensory stimuli can make the child more comfortableMinimize exposure to high-intensity stimuli. Use soft fabrics, gentle light, and quiet surroundingsObserve child’s comfort level and behavior changes. Adjust the environment as necessary
  1. Do's and Don’ts
Do'sDon'ts
Always respect the child's comfort and boundariesDon't insist on exposing them to intense sensory input
Be patient and offer support when they are struggling with sensory issuesDon't criticize or punish them for their sensory issues
Positively reinforce their efforts to engage with their sensory environmentDon't set unrealistic expectations or compare them to others

Keywords for research: Sensory Processing Disorder, Sensory Integration Therapy, Occupational Therapy.

Remember, every child is unique and might respond differently to these strategies. Therefore, patience, flexibility, and consistent efforts are key.
