WSIS Prizes Contest 2020 Champion

Social Skills Animation


Description

SSA is a software which enables creation custom-made animations for targeted learning support to children with autism and other intellectual disabilities. It can be either downloaded and bought online from its website. In that case SSA software would only be available to be used on the device to which it is downloaded. However, the animated videos made in SSA can be transferred to any other device at no cost via email or by other means. Other way of purchasing SSA is by getting on Dongle (USB key). In that way the USB dongle key with the software on it is being shipped to a customer and it can be installed by inserting a USB key in a computer. In this option SSA can be used in any computer as long as the USB key is inserted in it. SSA uses 2D animations. Whole software was created by the team of animators and programmers. They have used Actionscript for Adobe Flash/Air platform for programming. For graphics and for the basis for flash/air platform the Adobe Animate was used. The software is very light in terms of required memory on a device as it does not require more then 30 MB.
