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.

I want to help my children/student in the following, more specific area:Help

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.
Writing - cognitive and mechanical elements of written expression
Writing is the graphical representation of ideas that consists of two separate and distinct actions. The first is the cognitive process of changing an idea into the symbols (letters, characters, or other) in preparation for writing. The second is the motor process of producing the "written" symbols that present an idea in whatever medium is chosen (paper, computer screen, etc.), in a fashion that is potentially comprehensible by others. While letters and complex symbols form the basis of developmentally sophisticated writing, the simple graphic productions (e.g., scribbles) of young children and others with limited skills, can be very effective communication tools.
Mathematics - cognitively and mechanically performing mathematical operations
Math, or arithmetic, is the ability to manage numerical and/or quantitative ideas, both conceptually and in graphical representations. Mathematical skills evolve over time, beginning using numbers for the concrete counting of objects, evolving into the appreciation that numbers can represent various constructs such as quantity, time, space, etc., that can be manipulated through mathematical operations. Success with math can be confounded by writing difficulty as "imprecise" presentation of numbers leads to errors.
Learning Strategies - adopting and developing strategies for learning new material
Learning strategies are the full spectrum of creative, flexible approaches and tools for the acquisition of new knowledge. It includes all facets of learning in school and extra-curricular settings, as well as how one approaches learning life skills at home and in the community (e.g., music, dance, sports, game playing, cooking, cleaning, community social functions, riding bicycles, magic tricks, etc.) For skillful adaptation, effective and efficient learning strategies must vary with development, experience, and the nature of the learning task. Examples of learning strategies include changing oral tasks into written tasks, breaking large problems into a sequence of small problems, etc.
Academic Motivation - willingness to apply skills and abilities to achieve academic goals
Academic motivation is an individual's general commitment to scholarly/learning activities. It includes not only the determination to acquire knowledge and skills in school, but also the development of the tools necessary to successfully perform in the academic context. While often reduced to "grades," this method fails to capture the commitment necessary to establish and maintain appropriate subject level knowledge and skills (e.g., mathematics, science, language, history, etc.), as well as the willingness to flexibly and adaptively use general and specific resources (e.g., mentors, libraries, collaboration, etc.) needed to succeed.
Gross Motor Skills - strength and coordination of motor skills, e.g., walking, running and jumping
Gross motor skills are generally large amplitude motor movements, most commonly the product of the larger muscle groups of the limbs and trunk. Since there are many muscle groups involved in gross motor activity, they must be coordinated to be effective. Coordination requires input from the kinesthetic, visual, and somatosensory systems, as well as practice for complex tasks, including walking. Skilled gross motor activity sets the stage for success for many activities of daily living, as well as athletics, dance, cycling, driving etc.
Fine Motor Skills - strength and coordination of fine motor skills, e.g., writing, buttoning, use of scissors
Expressive Language includes words and sounds, powerfully augmented by non-verbal communication, including gestures, body posture, facial expression etc. There are many subtle elements that enhance the breadth, depth and nuance of expressive language. These include rate, rhythm, volume, prosody, and tone of speech, as well as vocabulary and word choice. Effective expressive communication requires the flexible, skillful combination of gestures and spoken words. It takes considerable effort to communicate functionally, yet remarkably, even from early life, typically developing individuals are able to express to others their ideas, feelings, wants, and needs. These skills grow in complexity over the course of the lifespan, however, there is considerable variability amongst individuals that depends on biological make-up, cognitive ability, environmental factors, and cultural/social experiences.

In this area, my children/student displays the following behavior:Help

Unable to recognize letters, words, and/or grammar for reading comprehension
The inability, or unwillingness, to recognize the symbols to be decoded as letters or other symbols, necessary for interpreting written communication.
Reading is efficient, effective, and developmentally/age appropriate
Reading requires not only recognition of the symbols, including letters, as well as the rules joining them to make written, communicative language that is decoded by "reading." Efficient and effective readers read with precision, but also implicitly comprehend even when they do not decode each and every symbol.
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.

Overview of the challenges associated with this profile

Challenges	How they Manifest
Lack of comprehensive understanding	Because your child spends so much time on each individual symbol or reads too quickly, they may miss the overall message or theme of what they are reading.
Reading takes a long time	By insisting on perfectly decoding each symbol, your child spends a lot of time on each word and each sentence, which drastically slows down their reading speed.
Frustration and low confidence	Your child might get frustrated or lose confidence due to slow reading speed or inability to understand the written language.

Efficient, evidence-based strategies to support this child

Strategy Title	Brief Description	Implementation Steps	Parameters to Monitor
Speed Reading Techniques	These techniques can help improve comprehension and enhance the speed of reading.	Start with fun, easy texts. Use a pointer such as a pencil or finger to guide reading. Encourage chunking (reading groups of words at a go). Practise regularly.	Monitor the improvement in speed and comprehension of reading.
Gradual Complexity Building	Start with simpler texts and gradually move to complex ones. This can build confidence and reduce the need for meticulousness.	Choose simpler texts initially. Gradually move on to more complex texts with more intricate language and vocabulary.	Track how your child adapts to more complex texts and if their need to be meticulous reduces.
Active Reading Strategy	This strategy encourages interaction with the text, improving comprehension.	Encourage your child to ask questions, make predictions, and summarize what they've read.	Check if your child's comprehension improves, and if they're more willing to engage with texts without reading them symbol by symbol.

Do and don'ts

Do's	Don'ts
Do remain patient and encouraging.	Don't lose patience or show frustration with your child's reading speed.
Do celebrate small victories and progress.	Don't focus only on the end goal, it may overwhelm your child.
Do involve your child in reading-based activities that they enjoy.	Don't force your child to read overly challenging texts before they are ready.
