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:

Reading - cognitive and mechanical elements of reading comprehension: Reading is the ability to decode written symbols for purposes of communication and learning. While reading most commonly focuses on symbols referred to as "letters" or "characters" from alphabets, in fact, decoding any symbols is a form of reading, including symbols such as logos, flags, and other devices. Reading most languages requires understanding of components of writing including grammar, syntax, punctuation, sentences, paragraphs etc.

His/her profile is as follows:

Reading disrupted by excessive speed and/or meticulousness: Some individuals not only insist on the perfect presentation of the letters or other symbols in order to "read" them, when they do read, they insist that each and every symbol be identified, decoded, and read. This slows reading and often misses broad or integrated interpretations of written messages. Similarly, rapid, imprecise "reading" interferes with the comprehension of written language.

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.

Overview of the challenges associated with this profile

```

ChallengesHow they manifest
Dependent on perfect presentationThe student insists on optimally visible and beautifully presented symbols and struggles to decode or interpret if they perceive any imperfections within
Slowed reading speedMeticulous attention to each symbol results in a slow reading pace
Missing broader interpretationsThe insistence on decoding each character in isolation prevents understanding of the overall message, as focus on details takes precedence over grasp of entire sentences or paragraphs
Inaccurate comprehensionReading too quickly and not precisely enough leads to errors in comprehension and might cause difficulties in understanding the context
```

Efficient, evidence-based strategies to support this student

```

TitleDescription and EfficiencyImplementation StepsParameters to monitor and adjust
"Chunking" TechniqueBreaking down larger strings of information into small, manageable chunks can increase comprehension and reduce frustration, likely making the reading process less overwhelmingBreak down reading assignments into smaller sections. Give frequent breaks to prevent fatigueMonitor the student's focus and comprehension level to adjust the size and time intervals of the “chunks"
Guided ReadingGuided reading encourages slower, more mindful reading to foster comprehensionGradually increase reading load while guiding the student through more difficult content to promote independent reading. Use techniques like finger trackingMonitor comprehension and reading speed. Adjust the complexity of reading material
Decoding SupportDecoding support can help the student read more accurately and efficientlyExplicitly teach phonetic decoding strategies and provide plenty of practice opportunitiesMonitor decoding accuracy and speed, and adjust the complexity of decoding tasks
```

Do’s and Don'ts

```

DoDon't
Empower the student to appreciate his/her meticulousness as a strengthDo not reprimand the slow reading speeds
Provide more specialised, individual attention when possibleDo not avoid the challenges related to reading difficulty or ignore it
Encourage the use of assistive technology if available and applicableDo not rely solely on traditional teaching methods if they're not benefiting the student
