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 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:

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.

His/her profile is as follows:

Overly cooperative, even when disadvantageous, in work, school, play, and/or other reciprocal social interactions: Excessive compliance with rules and instructions, or oversharing, even when it may interfere with shared or personal goals and objectives. Will cooperate with suggestions from others even if it may not be harmful.

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.

1. Overview of the challenges associated with this profile

ChallengesHow they manifest
Excessive ComplianceThe student may overly comply with rules and instructions, even when it may not always be necessary or beneficial.
OversharingThe student may share too much information or engage excessively in discussions, which can potentially disrupt the learning environment.
Difficulty Making DecisionsThe student may have trouble making decisions independently and may often defer to others.
Lower Self-esteemThe consistent compliant nature may cause low self-esteem as they might feel unappreciated.

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

TitleDescription & Why It's EfficientImplementation StepsParameters to Monitor
Active Decision-MakingEncouraging the student to engage in decision-making exercises can help foster independence and self-confidenceStart with simple decisions such as choosing assignments or project topics, gradually allowing more complex decision-making in groupsMonitor the student’s comfort level and confidence while making decisions
Gradual Withdrawal of SupportGradually reducing direct assistance will force the student to learn to handle tasks independentlyBegin tasks together and slowly step back, allowing the student to complete tasks aloneMeasure the student’s ability to complete tasks independently
Positive ReinforcementRewarding the student when he or she successfully asserts themselves will aid in building self-confidencePraise the student when they make decisions or express their ideas confidentlyMonitor the student's self-confidence and willingness to express themselves
Teach AssertivenessTeach the student to communicate their thoughts, choices and preferences assertivelyRole-play and scenario discussions can be used to demonstrate assertivenessMonitor the progress of the student's assertive communication skills
