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: 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 child. 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 child 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 at home, and lead to this child nurturing his strengths and building resilience. 3. Do and don'ts List common mistakes to avoid and best practices to follow when supporting this child. 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.
Guide on Supporting Child with Disruptive or Rigid Routines for Transitions
1. Overview of the challenges associated with this profile
Challenges | How they manifest |
---|---|
Inflexible Routines | Children might insist on following the same routine every time, becoming distressed if unable to do so. |
Resistance to Change | With the slightest change in routine, they may exhibit tantrums, reluctance or excessive worry and stress. |
Difficulty in contingencies | Difficulty coping with unexpected events or changes that are not in their routine. |
2. Efficient, evidence-based strategies to support this child
Strategy Title | Brief Description and Why Efficient | Implementation Steps | Parameters to Monitor and Adjust |
---|---|---|---|
Visual Schedules | Visual aids can help children visualize their routine, making transitions less abrupt and helping them anticipate. | - Create a visual aid detailing the routine.- Teach the child to follow the visual aid.- Update the schedule as needed. | Monitor the child's response and ability to follow the visual schedule. Adjust the complexity or simplicity based on their comprehension. |
Social Stories | Social stories explain why they need to transition and what are the steps involved. This gives children a heads-up and reduces anxiety. | - Create a simple, short story detailing transition steps.- Read the story before transitions. | Monitor the child's understanding and interest in the social story. Adjust content or illustrations based on child’s response to increase engagement. |
Gradual Changes | Gradual changes prevent the disruption caused by abrupt changes, making transitions smoother. | - Start by tweaking small parts of the routine.- Gradually increase the changes as the child adjusts. | Monitor the reaction of the child to changes. Adjust the rate of change based on child’s adaptability. |
3. Do and Don'ts
Do's | Don'ts |
---|---|
Negotiate and involve the child in planning changes. | Don't force abrupt changes in routines. |
Be patient and provide positive reinforcement. | Don't neglect the child’s stress and emotions. |
Prepare for contingencies and have a backup plan. | Don’t penalize the child for their inability to cope with sudden changes. |
