Introduction
Digital psychoeducation has become an important component of support for families managing neurodevelopmental conditions, particularly where daily organizational skills and treatment adherence are concerned [3]. Mouna Chebli’s doctoral work, conducted under a CIFRE industrial agreement with O-Kidia, examines immersive and gamified approaches for parents of children with ADHD, with attention to understanding, management of daily organization, and family quality of life [2]. Her broader research program connects laboratory cognitive science with applied clinical and educational settings [1].
Research Profile
Mouna Chebli is a CIFRE PhD candidate at the Doctoral School ED85 SVS (Life and Health Sciences), Université Côte d’Azur, from September 2024 to September 2027. Her thesis develops an immersive digital psychoeducational approach for parents of children with ADHD to improve understanding and management of daily organizational skills and family quality of life. She holds a Master’s degree in Cognitive Science (Cognitive Functions track: Normal and Pathological Organization) from Aix-Marseille Université (2021–2023) and a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Université de Paris (2018–2021). Her technical skills include Python, R, JASP, Microsoft Office, and Canva.
Since September 2023 she has served as a research assistant at O-Kidia in Nice, contributing to digital diagnostic support solutions for neurodevelopmental disorders, participant recruitment and follow-up, data analysis, and communication content. Earlier internships included the Institut de Neurosciences de la Timone in Marseille (2022), studying breathing in human–human and human–machine interaction with Python data processing, and the Laboratory for the Psychology of Child Development and Education (LaPsyDÉ) in Paris (2021), administering school-based experiments on numerical skill development [1].
Research Contributions
Her contributions span three connected areas: psychoeducational intervention design for ADHD families, analysis of national trends in youth neurodevelopmental and mental health care, and methodological work on multimodal biometrics for neurodevelopmental assessment [2]. The scoping review of psychoeducational strategies for children with ADHD and their parents synthesizes current evidence and identifies gaps in family-centered digital delivery [3]. A national trends study further documents sex-specific patterns in care pathways for youth mental health services in France [4]. Conference outputs include webinars, SEGAMED presentations, and posters at NeuroFrance, the French Congress of Psychiatry, and SFPEADA.
Publications
Peer-reviewed work includes a 2026 scoping review on psychoeducational strategies for children with ADHD and parents in Research in Developmental Disabilities [3], a 2024 review of online and gamified psychoeducational interventions [2], and a 2024 national trends analysis of youth mental health visits [4]. A multimodal biometrics study on child brain functioning is in revision [1].
Research Impact
Scopus records for author ID 59721726800 report 3 citations, 2 documents, and an h-index of 1, with Health Education as the assigned subject area [1]. Although early-career in bibliometric terms, the citation record reflects uptake of work on psychoeducational interventions and pediatric care pathways [3]. The applied orientation of the research—digital tools deployed with clinical and family stakeholders—supports non-bibliometric impact in health education practice [2].
Award Suitability
For the Innovative Research Award associated with the Top Teachers Awards, the candidate’s profile aligns with criteria emphasizing early-career originality, applied relevance, and knowledge translation. The CIFRE doctoral project introduces an immersive digital psychoeducational approach for ADHD families, combining evidence synthesis with intervention co-construction [3]. Peer-reviewed outputs in developmental disabilities and health services research, together with conference dissemination, indicate a coherent and productive research trajectory [4].
Conclusion
Mouna Chebli’s record combines doctoral research on digital psychoeducation for neurodevelopmental disorders with peer-reviewed publications and applied clinical collaboration. Her Scopus profile (2 documents, 3 citations, h-index 1) represents an early-stage but focused contribution to Health Education [1]. On balance, the evidence supports consideration for the Innovative Research Award within the Top Teachers Awards framework [3].
