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:

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.)

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.
  1. Overview of the challenges associated with this profile
ChallengesHow they manifest
Difficulty to adapt new situationsThere'll be resistance to change, distress and possibly tantrums during transitions. The student may refuse to engage with the new task or environment.
Emotional and behavior disruptionsThe student might show signs of anxiety, agitation or becoming upset, displaying disruptive behavior.
Organizational problemsThe student may have trouble gathering necessary items for the transition and may lose or forget important materials.
  1. Efficient, evidence-based strategies to support this student
TitleBrief Description and EfficiencyImplementation StepsParameters to Monitor
Visual Imagery and Social StoriesVisual aids ease the transition by providing cues about what comes next. Social stories help understand the sequence of events, making transitions less overwhelming.Use images or a storyboard to explain the upcoming transition. Implement social stories that deal with transitions.Monitor the student's understanding of the transition and how they respond to the visual cues. Adjust complexity based on this.
Clear Timelines and SchedulesMakes the child aware of when transitions will occur and what will come next.Always have a schedule posted, use timers or clocks to help the student visualize. Announce upcoming transitions in advance.Keep track of the student's reaction to the schedule over time. Modify the schedule's formatting or timing cues as necessary.
Practice Transition RoutinesFamiliarity decreases anxiety around transitions. Repeated practice reinforces correct behavior.Break down each step of the transition and practice it with your student, till they feel confident.Monitor how quickly the student is picking up the routine, resilience during the change and comfort level
  1. Do and don'ts
Do'sDont's
Be patient and provide positive reinforcementAvoid rushing or becoming frustrated with the student
Keep a regular and consistent scheduleDon't make abrupt changes without warning
Allow extra time for transitionsDo not expect immediate compliance to transitions
