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

Social Engagement - engaging in social behavior
Social engagement is the combination of intent to form and maintain social interactions combined with the appropriate and flexible application of social speech, cues, gestures, and behaviors (e.g., smiling, visual regard, hand shaking/bowing, etc.). Social engagement directs these behaviors toward individuals or groups, with the goal of establishing and maintaining reciprocal, social transactions and relationships.
Social Communication - communication enabling social interactions
Social functioning is the ability to share thoughts, needs, ideas, and behaviors. Social communication includes words and gestures in conjunction with an "invitation" to respond, as well as the willingness to receive and accept social responses. This leads to reciprocity, or "turn-taking," the repeated exchanges of thoughts, needs, ideas, and behaviors that form the basis of conversation, discussion, collaborative work, and play.
Social Cooperation - cooperating in social interactions, including play
Cooperation is working together with other individuals, or in groups, to achieve a common goal or objective. This requires effective communication for sharing of thoughts, ideas, and plans, as well as a willingness to be flexible and context sensitive when sharing behaviors and communications.
Tolerance - ability to appropriately respond to different people, cultures, values, and belief systems
Tolerance is the willingness and ability to thoughtfully and fairly judge values and belief systems. This includes treating those from different cultures, values and beliefs fairly, and with respect and courtesy.

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

Lacks communication necessary for social interactions
Is unable, or refuses, to initiate, respond or share communication with the intention of establishing and maintaining social interactions with others.
Communication facilitates reciprocal and adaptive social behavior
Uses a full spectrum of flexible communication skills, including language and gestures, to establish and maintain flexible, reciprocal, social interactions with others. Social communications transmit and receive invitations for shared exchanges of thoughts, ideas, and needs. They establish and sustain shared social interactions in a variety of settings and with a diverse group of individuals.
Communication lacks reciprocity and social appropriateness
Individuals whose actions and behaviors disrupt social communication, making it difficult, if not impossible to establish and/or sustain functional social relationships. These behaviors include inconsistent language, visual regard, inability or refusal to share interests, unable or unwilling to vary social behaviors when misunderstood, or being solely interested in oneself and one's own interests.

Overview of the challenges associated with this profile

Challenges	How they manifest
Difficulty initiating conversation	The student might avoid eye contact, might seem distant or unapproachable, might not ask questions or interact voluntarily.
Trouble maintaining conversation	The student might not respond when spoken to, might provide one-word or short responses, might get easily sidetracked or lose focus during conversations.
Resistance to shared communication	The student may have a restricted range of interests or topics they're comfortable discussing, creating a barrier to shared communication.

Efficient, evidence-based strategies to support this student

Title	Description	Implementation Steps	Parameters to Monitor and Adjust
Strategy 1: Incorporating Interests	Using student's personal interests can stimulate engagement in communication. It's effective because it capitalizes on their existing motivations.	Find out the student's interests. Incorporate them into lessons, activities, and conversations.	Monitor engagement, responses, frequency of communication. Adjust the strategy to introduce new topics, to extend their range of interests.
Strategy 2: Visual Supports	Visuals can help students understand and participate in communication. This is efficient because many students with social communication challenges understand visual information better than oral information.	Use visual props like pictures, diagrams during lessons. Make visual schedules or social stories for instructions.	Monitor understanding and accuracy of communication. Adjust visuals based on their effectiveness.
Strategy 3: Social Scripts	Social scripts help students learn the "script" for different types of social interactions. It's efficient because it gives them concrete language to use in various situations.	Create scripts for common social situations the student may encounter. Practice these scripts in role-play scenarios.	Monitor the student's comfort level and success in different social situations. Modify scripts based on specific situations or responses.

Do and Don'ts

Do's	Don'ts
Emphasize non-verbal communication cues.	Don't force communication - let it happen organically.
Reward attempts at communication.	Don't criticize or punish lack of communication.
Be patient and tolerant.	Don't ignore student's strengths and only focus on weaknesses.
