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 parent. I am looking for suggestions on how to support my child according to their strengths and needs.

You are a child and adolescent psychiatrist. Your role is to provide guidance to a parent on how to support child according to their strengths and needs.

My child has been assessed for the following dimension:

Self-control - managing impulses and self-regulating behavior: Effective social adaptations and goal seeking requires the ability to resist non-productive impulses and distractions that may interfere with achieving a goal. Self-control is the ability to manage the full spectrum of one's behaviors in order to quickly, flexibly, and effectively adapt as one attempts to meet one's personal and social needs. This means maintaining control over language, social, and motor behavior, while being sensitive and responsive to other environmental factors such as the behaviors of others who are sharing time and space. Self-control includes the ability to both behave proactively and reactively, as well as to inhibit unnecessary or inappropriate behavior.

His/her profile is as follows:

Adaptively balances impulses and self-regulation: Regulates behavior to appropriately engage in activities, generally following the rules, as well as being flexible in response to situational demands while inhibiting unnecessary or non-adaptive behavior.

Create a guide that I can use and share to best support my child.

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 child

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 at home, and lead to this child nurturing his strengths and building resilience.

3. Do and don'ts

List common mistakes to avoid and best practices to follow when supporting this child.

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
Difficulty in settings with unstructured timeIn moments of low structure or guidance, the child might struggle to regulate their behaviors and impulses.
Overload in high-pressure situationsSituations with significant demands may challenge the child's ability to maintain effective self-control.
Struggles with transitions or changesAbrupt changes or transitions in routine may result in difficulties with impulse control.
Potential difficulty maintaining boundariesThe child may sometimes struggle with understanding and maintaining appropriate boundaries due to their flexibility.
  1. Efficient, evidence-based strategies to support this child
TitleDescription and EfficacyImplementation StepsParameters to Monitor and Adjust
Consistent Daily RoutineRegular schedules provide predictable structures that encourage self-regulation.- Establish a predictable daily routine. - Be consistent with meal times, homework, and bedtime.Modify the routine based on your child's changing needs, engagements and responses to specific activities.
Gradual Exposure to ChallengesGradual exposure helps children build resilience and manage their reactions to demanding situations.- Identify situations that stress your child. - Gradually introduce your child to these situations and support them in managing their reactions.Adjust the pace and intensity of exposure based on your child’s comfort level and capacity.
Positive ReinforcementReinforcing good behavior will encourage repetition and make self-regulation rewarding for the child.- Identify desirable behaviors. - Provide rewards or words of affirmation when they exhibit these behaviors.Adjust the type and frequency of reinforcement based on your child's reactions.
Healthy BoundariesTeaching your child about boundaries aids in controlling impulses while relating with others.- Teach your child about personal and social boundaries. - Role-play different scenarios to help your child practice maintaining boundaries.Monitor how well your child understands and respects boundaries, adjusting your teaching methods as needed.
  1. Do and don'ts
Do'sDon'ts
Do maintain consistent expectations and routines.Don't punish your child harshly or abruptly during moments of struggle.
Do use positive reinforcement to motivate your child.Don't leave your child in stressful situations without adequate support.
