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

Denies or fails to recognize one's own sexual/gender identity, roles, or urges
Unwilling or unable to recognize or address the gender specific elements of their own behavior and social functioning.
Age-appropriate expression of one's own sexual/gender identity, roles, and urges
Most youth follow gender specific behaviors in terms of grooming, attire, behavior, and sexual objects. Some have "non-conforming" behavior in many categories which, while not pathological, may require adaptations, both personally and in social settings. Most youth are well aware of and manage appropriate sexual behavior, consistent with their identity, culture, and environment.
Overexpression of one's own sexual/gender identity, roles, or urges
When aware of gender identity and gender specific behavior, some individuals are unwilling or unable to regulate sex-specific behaviors in a manner (time and place) that is appropriate and adaptive. This can create social isolation and difficulty with overall adaptation.

1. Overview of the challenges associated with this profile

Challenges	How they manifest
Society's Expectations	The world generally categorizes individuals into male and female categories, which can be difficult and confusing for a child who does not identify in these binary terms.
Emotional Distress	Children who cannot openly express their gender identity usually experience feelings of loneliness and confusion. These feelings can lead to high levels of anxiety and depression.
Peer interactions	Children might experience bullying, social isolation and face rejection from peers if they do not conform to the gender norms.

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

Title	Description	Implementation Steps	Parameters to Monitor and Adjust
Open Conversations	Having frank and open conversations to discuss their feelings related to their gender identity.	Start a relaxed discussion on gender roles and identities and invite the child to share their thoughts and feelings.	Continually observe for changes in the child's comfort level, body language and facial expressions during the conversations.
Affirmative Approach	Affirm the child's gender self-identification by embracing their choice.	Begin by using the child's chosen name and pronouns in private and public situations.	Pay special attention to the child's reaction when being validated for their identity. Increase the frequency of validation as it becomes comfortable.
Role Play and Imaginative Play	Helps the child explore different gender roles in a safe and non-judgemental environment.	Facilitate imaginative play sessions where the child can express and explore their identity freely.	Track changes in the child's comfort with different gender roles.

3. Do and Don'ts

Do	Don't
Show love and support unconditionally, remind the child they are loved no matter what their gender identity is.	Don't force or rush the child to fit into traditional gender roles.
Educate yourself about LGBTQ+ topics to better understand your child's experiences and feelings.	Don't ignore or negate your child's feelings about their gender identity.
