Dfusion – Transform Autism Education with F.learning’s Animation Expertise

The Challenge: Engaging Animation for Skill Development

Dfusion, a leader in health and wellness solutions, want to include engaging animation specifically designed to expand their existing library of resources for young adults on the autism spectrum (aged 20s).

Their goal was to provide a comprehensive program focused on communication and independent living skills.Here we have F.Learning Animated Solution – which helps Dfusion out!

By understanding the specific challenges young adults with autism face, such as difficulties with nonverbal communication and social interaction, F.learning was able to craft engaging animated resources that addressed these pain points and fostered improved learning outcomes, within the budget!

F.learning’s Expertise: Understanding Needs, Driving Good Results

A previous collaboration with another vendor stalled due to budget limitations. Dfusion approached F.learning seeking high-quality animation that fit their budget while addressing the specific needs of autistic learners. F.learning’s expertise proved to be the perfect fit.

For each project, especially for this unique type of learner – Young Adults with Autism, F.Learning understands that careful research and analysis of learners will help increase project outputs effectively. After analyzing the learner, F.Learning draws out some typical learning gaps of this type of learner:

  • Nonverbal Communication: Young adults with autism may struggle to understand and utilize nonverbal cues like facial expressions, body language, and tone of voice. This can lead to misunderstandings and social difficulties.
  • Social Interaction: Initiating and maintaining conversations, navigating social situations, and understanding humor can be challenging for young adults on the spectrum. They may struggle with turn-taking, appropriate topics, and emotional responses.

Dfusion’s Empowered Success: How F.learning’s Expertise Bridged the Gap

Understanding the learner helps the team come up with characters related to real people, and the production team also chooses appropriate colors and rhythms to include in the video. Defining learning gaps also helps F. Learning easily selects items that should or should not appear in the video to reduce learner distractions.

Enhanced Engagement and Accessibility:

F.learning’s animated resources transcended the limitations of live-action videos. Our captivating visuals and interactive elements grabbed the attention of young adults on the spectrum, fostering a more engaging learning experience.

  • Potentially purchase source files for future use.
  • Focus resources on creating high-quality supporting materials.
