Computer Aided Animation Techniques for Educable Mentally Retarded Children

Technology and technology based developments affect almost every discipline such as art, communication, education, literature, etc. Art has also been influenced by technological advances for centuries. Technology provides interdisciplinary approaches in terms of art and education. Art, education and technology become more efficient in terms of functionality when supported by music. Using computer-aided animation in teaching both academic skills and concepts in special education is important for supporting education with visual aids. When auditory and visual elements are used together, learning becomes more permanent and effective. Computer-aided applications can be an alternative education model since they are renewable, updatable, and storable. This study is the first digital-based education model designed for the development of auditory and visual perception of dedicatedly educable mentally retarded children
