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:

Worries/Anxiety - managing worries and anxiety: Worries are the result of fears or anxiety. The stimulus for worries can be internal or external. External worries often come from frightening or forbidden objects or events. Internal worries are often associated with self-doubt or lack of confidence, as well as legitimate concerns about objects or events from the past or anticipated in the future. Worries come in many forms, and while they generally reflect internal feeling states, they are commonly expressed as behaviors including the appearance of being anxious, excess vocalization of the worry, or avoidance.

His/her profile is as follows:

Adaptive, functional, well-regulated worries and anxiety: Occasional fears, anxiety, or concerns are frequent and generally represent appropriate responses to internal and external stressors. While these worries are common, they must be appropriately and flexibly managed in order to support behaviors that foster successful adaptation.

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.

Here is a simplified, example guide to help you support your student who experiences well-managed worries and anxiety.

  1. Overview of the challenges associated with this profile
ChallengesHow they manifest
Navigational AnxietyStudent may feel overwhelmed when presented with new or complex math problems.
Fear of Making MistakesMay second-guess his/her answers or refrain from participation in fear of giving a wrong answer.
Difficulty with UncertaintyMay feel uncomfortable or frustrated when answers are not clear-cut or when they struggle to solve a problem.
  1. Efficient, evidence-based strategies to support this student
TitleBrief Description & Why It's EfficientImplementation StepsParameters to Monitor & Adjust
Educational Comfort ZoneIt involves increasing learner's confidence by giving tasks that are slightly above their present ability level. It is efficient as it gradually builds confidence and lessens the anxiety provoked by unfamiliar tasks.Give the student problems that slightly stretch their ability. Gradually increase the difficulty level as their confidence grows.Monitor confidence and anxiety level before introducing more difficult tasks. Be prepared to scale difficulty level back if necessary.
Mindful LearningMindful learning practices help students focus more on tasks and helps reduce anxiety. This approach enhances present moment awareness and decreases worry.Introduce mindfulness exercises. Ask students to focus on breathing pre and post class. Incorporate mindfulness into the classroom habits.Measure levels of worry and anxiety before mindful practice is introduced. Track progress throughout the year.
Emphasize Process over ResultsEmphasizing on the process instead of results can lower fear of mistakes and helps students to focus more on learning.Cultivate an environment where mistakes are seen as necessary steps in the learning process. Focus more on “what did we learn?” rather than “what did we get wrong?".Observe changes in student's willingness to try new problems and willingness to make mistakes.
  1. Do's and Don'ts
Do'sDon'ts
Do make the student feel safe about making mistakes and ask questions.Don't punish or belittle the student for errors or for not understanding something.
Do create a positive and supportive learning environment.Don't compare the student to others or apply unnecessary pressure.
Do recognize small achievements and improvements.Don't overlook efforts in favor of only recognizing large achievements or end results.
