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 12th 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 12th grade math teacher on how to support student according to their strengths and needs.

My student has been assessed for the following dimension:

Compliance - following rules and instructions adaptively: Compliance is adherence to rules or directions, consistent with the setting or environment (e.g., school, work, home, etc.) in order to achieve goals and objectives.
<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:

Excessively rigid in following rules/instructions: Inflexibly follows all rules specifically and in detail with no capacity to be flexible and adaptive in response to the environment or situation.

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
Inflexibility to changeStudent will follow all rules or instructions to the letter, refusing to adapt even when circumstances might require flexibility.
Difficulty keeping paceOverly rigid compliance can slow down the student's progress as they might spend more time ensuring they follow all the rules necessitating their peers to wait.
Frustration or confusionThe student may become upset or confused when faced with unanticipated situations or when rules seem to conflict.
Social isolationStrict adherence may lead to social isolation as it inhibits the student's capacity to engage in teamwork that requires flexibility and occasional rule bending.

2.Efficient, Evidence-Based Strategies to Support this Student

TitleDescription and EfficiencyImplementation StepsParameters to Monitor and Adjust
Strategy 1: Encourage flexible thinkingThis strategy builds critical thinking skills and helps the student cope with unfamiliar situations.1. Use real-life scenarios requiring problem solving and decision making processes that conflict with explicit rules. 2. Discuss different appropriate responses to these scenarios.Monitor progress through observation of verbal and non-verbal responses. Adjust scenarios based on student’s comfort level and response.
Strategy 2: Use of role playRole play simulates real-life situations, encouraging flexibility and social skills.1. Develop a variety of situations that challenge rule rigidity. 2. Guide the student in recognizing that adaptations can be suitable.Monitor student’s responses in role-play situation. Adjust situations to increase complexity gradually.
Strategy 3: Positive ReinforcementReinforcing adaptive behavior encourages the student to be more flexible.1. Recognize and reward adaptive behaviors. 2. Use verbal praise or other meaningful rewards.Monitor for instances when the student acts flexibly compliance.
Strategy 4: Visual SupportVisual cues serve as reminders that it is ok to bend the rules sometimes.1. Create a visual chart or cue cards that promote flexible thinking.Check frequently how the visual cues support flexible behavior, and adjust visuals as needed.
  1. Do’s and Don’ts
Do'sDon’t's
Do reinforce flexible behavior and decision making.Don't punish the student for rigid compliance.
Do provide opportunities for flexible thinking and reward attempts.Don't expect rapid change, it takes time.
Do demonstrate flexible behavior yourself.Don't downplay the importance of following rules generally.
Do provide explicit instruction on when flexibility is appropriate.Don't try to force the student into uncomfortable situations without guidance and support.
