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:

Attention/Concentration - regulating attention and concentration: Attention is the ability to focus interests, cognition, emotions and/or other resources on a particular object, goal, idea, effort, activity, etc. Attention and concentration are cognitive processes that allow for the selection and focus on a particular task or object (including goals, ideas, etc.) for some period of time. It is usually easier to pay attention when there is strong interest, feeling or commitment to a particular topic or goal. Concentration and attention can vary by environment and other concomitant obligations. Attention and concentration often require active avoidance of distraction. Failure to maintain attention often leads to mistakes and interruptions in important tasks.

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.

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.

Overview of the Challenges associated with this Profile

ChallengesHow they Manifest
Single-Minded FocusOverly intense concentration on a single activity/task to an extent that it dominates other activities, leading to imbalance in daily life
Difficulty Shifting AttentionStruggles with moving attention from one task to another smoothly, causes inconsistencies in task performance
Disruptive Daily Life FunctioningYour child's excessive focus can interfere with aspects of everyday life, such as meal times, school work, or social activities

Efficient, Evidence-Based Strategies to Support your child

Strategy TitleDescription and Why It Is EfficientImplementation StepsParameters to monitor and adjust
1. Scheduled BreaksPrevents burnout and eases the transition between tasks. It breaks up intensive focus into manageable partsSchedule regular breaks during study or work times. Use a timer to create a more structured environmentMonitor if breaks improve task transition. Adjust break length and frequency as necessary
2. Visual ScheduleA visual schedule can provide structure and predictability, easing the transition between tasksCreate a visual schedule using charts or apps. Include transition timesObserve if the visual schedule reduces stress during task transitions. Modify the schedule's format or level of detail as needed
3. Task VariationProviding a variety of tasks can prevent over fixation. The change in task can refresh their focus capabilitiesRotate between different types of activities to allow a mental shiftMonitor if task variation reduces the over-focus issue. Adjust the type and duration of tasks as necessary

Do and Don'ts

Do'sDon'ts
Provide a balanced variety of tasksAvoid forcing abrupt shifts in focus
Incorporate regular breaks into the scheduleDon't overlook the positive aspects of their ability to concentrate
Encourage social activitiesDo not compare your child's abilities with those of others
