Saving Skills is a money budgeting and financial independence practice game designed for Special Needs individuals to develop important life skills with the help of a game facilitator

Precedents

My target audience is Special Needs individuals developing skills such as communication and basic math and reading understanding.

Through my research of precedents and similar games for my audience I found a lot of similar flaws with the products. They were often filled with text, a video game, or were somewhat complex. Based on this analysis I focused on making my game simple, while still being educational and fun, including hands-on play and learning, and most importantly being designed overall with Special Needs people in mind.
