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 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: 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. <h3><slot data-nx-ref="value-0"></slot></h3> <slot data-nx-ref="value-0-desc"></slot> <h3><slot data-nx-ref="value-50"></slot></h3> <slot data-nx-ref="value-50-desc"></slot> <h3><slot data-nx-ref="value-100"></slot></h3> <slot data-nx-ref="value-100-desc"></slot> His/her profile is as follows: 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. 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.
- Overview of the challenges associated with this profile
Challenges | How they manifest |
---|---|
Social Isolation | Because of the overexpression of their gender identity, the student may experience social isolation. Their peers may feel uncomfortable around them due to their lack of understanding. |
Difficulty with Overall Adaptation | The student may have issues adapting because of their overexpressive behavior. They may not fully grasp when and where their behavior is appropriate, leading to potential issues in different settings. |
Potential for Bullying | As the student expresses themselves outside the societal norm, they could become a target for bullying. |
- Efficient, evidence-based strategies to support this student
Title | Description and Efficacy | Implementation Steps | Parameters to Monitor and Adjust |
---|---|---|---|
Cultivate Empathy | Building an environment where empathy is valued helps students to understand one another better. This could minimize misunderstandings that lead to isolations and bullying. | Discuss empathy in class frequently, use examples and case studies, create assignments that require students to consider different perspectives. | You can survey students regularly on their thoughts to check their understanding and application of empathy. |
Education on Gender Diversity | Education can neutralize a lot of misunderstandings. Teaching students about the broad spectrum of gender identities and behaviors can increase acceptance and reduce isolations. | Discuss the different gender identities and behaviors, assign literature and movies that represent different genders, invite speakers who can share their experiences. | Regularly check students understanding and acceptance. Make needed adjustments in the curriculum if necessary. |
Create Safe Spaces | Schools should have a place where students can freely express themselves without judgment. | Arrange certain areas in school where students can safely express their gender identities, give them resources and personnel to talk to when they have problems. | Monitor the use of these safe spaces, adjust based on frequency and popularity among students. |
- Do and don'ts
Do's | Don'ts |
---|---|
Do encourage open and respectful discussions about gender diversity. | Don't ignore or dismiss any signs of bullying or discrimination. |
Do support the student in expressing their identity, ensuring they do it in a respectful and appropriate manner. | Don't force the student to "tone down" their expression of their identity. |
Do involve parents or caregivers in the process of creating an understanding environment. | Don't make assumptions about the student's experiences or feelings based on their gender identity. |
