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 12th 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 12th grade math teacher on how to support student according to their strengths and needs. My student has been assessed for the following dimension: Transitions - transitioning between activities or places: Leaving home or other sites (e.g., school) requires preparation that is often captured in routines so that all the elements of the departure are well-coordinated, with little emotional or behavioral disruption, and no necessary items are left behind. It is important to anticipate pending transitions and plan for what comes next. The departure requires the timely gathering of objects necessary for the transition, so that the departure can take place in an orderly and timely fashion. Transitions routines often use appropriate social elements (e.g., "Good-bye," "See you tomorrow," "Thank you," waving or hugs, etc.), as well as addressing of safety concerns (e.g., "hold my hand", "put on your seat belt", etc.) <h3><slot data-nx-ref="value-0"></slot></h3> <slot data-nx-ref="value-0-desc"></slot> <h3><slot data-nx-ref="value-50"></slot></h3> <slot data-nx-ref="value-50-desc"></slot> <h3><slot data-nx-ref="value-100"></slot></h3> <slot data-nx-ref="value-100-desc"></slot> His/her profile is as follows: Cannot manage transitions, including routines for departure: Some individuals are too disorganized, unwilling, or unable to participate in organized transitions. As a result, they are often anxious and upset, with behavioral disruptions, as they face changes in location or other transitions in the environment. 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
Challenges | How They Manifest |
---|---|
Anxiety during transitions | The student may become visibly anxious, upset, or may engage in disruptive behavior when a change in location or activity is impending. |
Difficulty with organization | The student struggles to gather necessary materials in a timely manner for the transition to the next activity or location. |
Reluctance to participate | The student may often seem unwilling or resistant to participating in departure routines or other transitions. |
- Effective, Evidence-based Strategies
Strategy Title | Description & Efficiency | Implementation Steps | Monitor & Adjust Parameters |
---|---|---|---|
Structured Routine | Establishing a clear, predictable routine helps decrease anxiety during transitions by setting clear expectations. | Outline the steps of the transition routine and review them with the student beforehand. Consistently follow this routine. | Assess whether the student is struggling with specific parts of the routine and adapt as necessary. |
Visual Cues | Using visual aids can help the student understand what to expect. This strategy may decrease anxiety and improve organization. | Create a visual schedule or checklist that outlines the steps of the routine. | Monitor how well the student uses and understands the visual aids, and adjust the complexity of the visuals to match the student's needs. |
Positive Reinforcement | Reinforcing positive behavior can help motivate the student to participate in transitions more willingly. | Praise the student when they successfully participate in the transition. Consider other rewards, such as points or tokens, that can be exchanged for a preferred activity. | Keep track of how effective the reinforcement is in encouraging the student’s participation and adjust the type or frequency of reinforcement as needed. |
- Do's and Don'ts
Do's | Don'ts |
---|---|
Maintain a consistent routine. | Do not change the routine without warning. |
Use calming strategies if the student becomes anxious. | Do not rush the student during transitions. |
Check-in with the student about their feelings and concerns. | Do not assume the student understands the transition simply because they seem calm. |
