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:

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.

His/her profile is as follows:

Writing disrupted by excessive speed and/or meticulousness: Must precisely produce the letters, characters or other symbols, often at the expense of completing work or producing effective written communication. As a result, responses include behaviors such as excessive erasing/deleting, and then re-writing in an attempt to achieve perfection.This may appear in the form of "blocks" limiting production or inhibition of writing altogether.

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

ChallengesHow they manifest
PerfectionismInhibits writing due to the need to produce letters, characters or other symbols accurately. This often manifests through excessive erasing or deleting and rewriting to achieve perceived perfection.
Slow writing speedThe speed of writing is slowed down due to the child's meticulousness in trying to shape each letter perfectly. Work is often left incomplete due to time constraints.
Inefficient communicationThe desire to create perfect characters/letters can inhibit the flow of ideas, thereby affecting the communication of thoughts effectively in written form.

2. Efficient, evidence-based strategies to support this child

TitleDescription & EfficiencyImplementation StepsParameters to Monitor & Adjust
Practice Mindful and Controlled WritingThis strategy focuses on reducing the child's anxious behavior around writing. By emphasizing the importance of thought and idea over form, it can help boost confidence.1. Set specific writing tasks focusing on content rather than form.2. Asses the child's understanding of the task and content.3. Provide positive reinforcement for task completion and encourage idea presentation.Progress in completing tasks, increase in confidence, improvement in articulating thoughts and ideas in writing, and reduction in stress/anxiety around writing.

Provide tools and materials that the child feels comfortable using.3. Praise and encourage the child's effort regardless of the output.Changes in the child's attitude and comfort towards writing, improvement in productivity, the decrease in perfectionist tendencies.
Use Assistive TechnologyTechnology can help the child frame ideas quickly, reducing the focus on handwriting perfection.1. Introduce typing or voice recognition software.2. Regularly review the child's comfort with the technology and make required adjustments.3. Encourage the child to produce drafts quickly, then revise for final output.Compatibility and comfort of the child with technology, the increase in writing speed, improvement in expressing thoughts in written form.
