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

Expressive Language - communicating with speech and gestures
Expressive Language includes words and sounds, powerfully augmented by non-verbal communication, including gestures, body posture, facial expression etc. There are many subtle elements that enhance the breadth, depth and nuance of expressive language. These include rate, rhythm, volume, prosody, and tone of speech, as well as vocabulary and word choice. Effective expressive communication requires the flexible, skillful combination of gestures and spoken words. It takes considerable effort to communicate functionally, yet remarkably, even from early life, typically developing individuals are able to express to others their ideas, feelings, wants, and needs. These skills grow in complexity over the course of the lifespan, however, there is considerable variability amongst individuals that depends on biological make-up, cognitive ability, environmental factors, and cultural/social experiences.
Receptive Language - recognizing and understanding words and gestures as communication
Receptive language is the capacity to comprehend verbal and non-verbal messages provided by others in the environment. It requires the ability to appreciate the nuances of communication (e.g., gesture, body posture, rhythm, volume, vocabulary, prosody, tone, etc.); each of these elements enhance the effectiveness and comprehension of communicative intent. In order to receive communication, the individual must attend to the critical elements of language, as well as the ability to focus on and interpret communication directed specifically at the individual, as well as more broadly with the environment. These skills grow in complexity over the course of the lifespan, however, there is considerable variability amongst individuals that depends on their biological make-up, cognitive ability, culture, and social experience.
Speech Quantity - speaking with an appropriate number of words for communication
Language is the full spectrum of communicative behaviors. It includes words, gestures, body posture, facial expression, and a myriad of other behaviors that have communicative intent. This item refers ONLY to spoken language - speech. There is enormous variation in speech quantity that is partly dependent on context ("Is this a time to be quiet or a time to offer to speak up?") and also depends on the capability of the individual to speak about specific content ("Does the individual know anything about the present topic?" "Are they lacking confidence with respect to that content?") Or, does the individual have the physical ability to produce speech at all. Thus, the quantity of speech may typically vary depending on context and content, however, individuals with problems related to speech quantity have difficulty regulating the amount of speaking in appropriate response to the context or content.
Speech Quality - speaking understandably
Speech is the production of sounds that are most often formed into words which can be linked to form sentences, paragraphs, descriptions, requests, stories, and much more. Using variations in rate, tone, rhythm, volume, clarity, word/sound selection, coordination with non-verbal communication, and other elements of sound production enhance the understandability of the intended communication. Flexible and adaptable speech offers greater possibility that the intended message will be received and properly interpreted by the listener.

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

Does not recognize words and gestures
Indifferent or unaware of communication in the environment with little or no recognition of communicative actions by others.
Understands words and gestures
Recognizes and comprehends the full spectrum of communicative intent, including words and gestures.
Recognizes words and gestures but cannot interpret meaning
Is aware of most words, gestures, and communications, but will not or cannot understand their intent or meaning.

Overview of the challenges associated with this profile

Challenges	How they manifest
Overstimulation	In settings where a plethora of verbal and non-verbal cues are presented simultaneously, the student might become overwhelmed.
Misinterpretation	May misinterpret ambiguous gestures or complex vocabulary that is outside their understanding.
Fatigue	Due to focusing intensely on recognizing and understanding gesture and language, the student may become fatigued more easily.

Efficient, evidence-based strategies to support this student

Title	Brief description + Efficiency	Implementation Steps	Parameters to Monitor and Adjust
Utilize Consistent Language and Gesturing	Using consistent language and gestures can reduce cognitive load on the student. Hence, the student will have more capacity to grasp the mathematical concepts.	Clearly define a set of language and gesturing to use consistently when teaching.	Monitor their reactions for understanding. Adjust the language and gestures based on their feedback.
Incorporate Breaks	Regular breaks can prevent mental fatigue and promote sustained attention.	Implement short breaks after each major concept is taught.	Keep track of the time spent on learning before the student appears tired. Adjust the duration of the learning and the breaks as needed.
Provide Clear Directions	Empowering the student with clear instructions minimizes confusion.	Before starting an activity, provide clear and concise instructions and repeat them if necessary.	Monitor whether the student understood the instruction and whether he follows them. Adjust the directions based on student's understanding.

Do and don'ts

Do's	Don'ts
Do use simple language and consistent gestures.	Don't introduce new language or gestures without explanation.
Do give the student ample time to process information.	Don't rush the student or overwhelm him with too much information at once.
