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 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: Disruptive or rigid routines for transitions: These Individuals approach transitions with inflexible, rigid routines that require specific sequences in order to avoid behavioral and emotional disruption. The transition routines may require numerous steps that must be performed in order, and may require multiple repetitions making it exceedingly difficult to successfully transition from one place to the next. 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 associated with this profile
Challenges | How They Manifest |
---|---|
Inflexible routines | The student has a strict sequence that needs to be carried out before transitioning; any deviation can cause distress and halt progress towards the transition. |
Emotional and behavioral disruption | If the transition routine is interrupted or diverted, the student may experience emotional upheaval, showing signs of distress, anxiety or defensive behavior. |
Delay in transitions | Because the routine requires multiple repetitions and specific steps, transitions can take a lot longer than stipulated, causing the student to be late for other activities. |
- Efficient, evidence-based strategies to support this student
Strategy Title | Brief Description and Efficiency | Implementation Steps | Parameters to Monitor and Adjust |
---|---|---|---|
Flexible Routine Development | Create a more flexible transition routine, allowing for changes and diversity. This reduces the student's dependence on rigidity. | - Identify and document current steps in the routine.- Gradually introduce one change in the routine at a time, giving the student time to adapt.- Reward the student for successfully making transitions with change. | Monitor the student's resisting behavior and levels of distress. The rate of change in routine steps should be adjusted according to how well the student is adapting. |
Visual Timetable/Schedule | Using visual aids can help the student understand sequences and prepare them for change. | - Create a visual timetable or chart of activities for the day.- Review the schedule with the student at the start of the day.- Highlight transition times so they can be anticipated. | Keep track of how well the student follows the visual timetable and how it affects their transition routine. Adjust visuals for clarity and better understanding where necessary. |
Social Story and Modeling | Use a social story illustrating acceptable behavior during transitions. Modeling this behavior can also be beneficial. | - Write a short story to explain the transition process with pictures or video.- Model the steps outlined in the story, or show a video of the same. | Measure how much of the modeled behavior the student emulates. Update the social story according to changes in routine or setting. |
- Do's and Don'ts
Do | Don't |
---|---|
Allow the student time to process change in routine. | Expect instant adjustment to change. |
Use positive reinforcement and rewards. | Punish the student for struggling with change. |
Maintain open communication about changes. | Make sudden, unexplained changes in routine. |
