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 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:

Morning Routine - performing routines for starting the day at school: Most people have a set of behaviors or actions for the beginning of each day that generally follow in a usual order and are designed to complete necessary tasks in preparation for the day's activities. They begin with arising with sufficient time to avoid being late for the start of school, work or other daytime obligations; routines may include activities such as toileting, hygiene, dressing appropriately, eating, gathering one's necessary belongings, and departing in a timely fashion so as to arrive at the first appointment of the day. Typically these routines are well-established so that they occur relatively automatically, obviating the need for detailed thinking about each task. In some cases, the individual does some preparation the evening before, in order to assure prompt completion of morning routines.

His/her profile is as follows:

Rigid/inflexible routines that disrupt starting the day: Inflexible, preoccupation with the necessity of completing all elements of all routines, with limited awareness of their purpose or function of the routines leads to delay and inability to complete preparations and begin the day's activity productively. They often arrive at the beginning of the day anxious, frustrated, and still focussed on elements of the morning routine.

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.
  1. Overview of the Challenges
ChallengesHow they Manifest
Rigid Thought ProcessesStudent insists on adhering to all elements of their routine, even when it interrupts school day commencement.
Elevated Anxiety LevelsStudent displays signs of frustration and anxiety because they were unable to complete their routine to their satisfaction.
Reduced FocusStudent remains preoccupied with unfinished routines, thereby disrupting their attention at the beginning of the day.
  1. Efficient, evidence-based strategies to support this student
StrategyDescription and EfficiencyImplementation StepsParameters to Monitor and Adjust
Create a Visual ScheduleA visual schedule can help students understand and manage daily transitions. It can reduce anxiety by setting clear expectations.1. With the student, identify all the steps in their morning routine. 2. Co-create a visual schedule aligning with the school schedule. 3. Allow students to manipulate the schedule, moving tasks to the "completed" section as they finish.Monitor how well the student adapts to the visual schedule and whether it reduces morning distress. Adjust timing and order of tasks based on optimal performance patterns.
Table-top GamesGames that require flexibility can help students practice and learn adaptable behaviors.1. Choose simple games where rules can change or different strategies can win. 2. Incorporate these games into free time. 3. Discuss and reflect on what strategies worked, why, and how they could handle changes better.Observe student's difficulty or distress levels during gameplay - adjust game complexity or frequency as needed.
Mindfulness and ExerciseApplying mindfulness practices can reduce anxiety and improve focus, while physical exercise can mitigate stress.1. Introduce guided mindfulness exercises at the start of the day. 2. Allow for some physical activities in the morning, like stretching or a quick walk.Pay attention to the student's stress levels and focus after these activities. If needed, adjust the duration or type of activity.
  1. Do's and Don'ts
Do'sDon'ts
Do validate their concerns about their routines.Don't disregard their preoccupation as mere 'stubbornness'.
Do involve the student in creating solutions.Don't enforce solutions without their input.
Do model flexibility in your own routines and activities.Don't maintain rigid classroom routines without room for change or flexibility.
