The Special Financial Crisis: How Students With Learning Disabilities Can Be Financially Literate With The Implementation Of Interactive Animation

Ishaan Gupta, Professor Patricia Worsham

ABSTRACT

Financial literacy among Generation Z students has declined over the last few years, and students with learning disabilities are especially susceptible to this problem. These groups of students struggle with basic financial literacy, leading to negative consequences for their future economic stability. The current financial literacy programs aren’t adjusted enough to their abilities, putting them in a more difficult position to achieve more financial knowledge. This research aims to consolidate interactive animation as an effective teaching aid to address this issue. Interactive animation, which utilizes visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learning modes, can easily explain complex financial concepts to special needs students with a higher level of engagement. The proposed approach aims to increase understanding and retention by making the learning process more effective and interesting for students. With early exposure to the fundamental aspects of financial literacy, these students are better equipped for the long term through enhanced financial decision-making ability and overall financial planning. The study outlines the application of a personalized education method to support those with special needs, providing a solution to enhance inclusion and decrease the financial literacy gap. It ultimately promotes the use of interactive animation in special education systems and how it can facilitate an effective transition into a successful financial future.
