About Making Money Easy
Overview
Building knowledge and skills
Making Money Easy is an online learning system that supports teenagers and adults with an intellectual disability in learning basic financial skills such as how to count, how to recognise money, how to budget and how to complete a range of simple to complex financial transactions.
Making Money Easy
Making Money Easy was developed by Participate Australia to support children, teens and adults with mild to moderate intellectual disability to learn basic counting and money handling skills. It teaches financial basics through to more complex transactions in a modular format that enables each section to build on what was learned in the previous section.
Making Money Easy was developed with the support of grant funding provided by Financial Literacy Australia (now Ecstra Foundation).
The program is designed to be fun and engaging to promote learning and reward achievement and is delivered in a safe, unintimidating online environment. Ultimately, participants are encouraged to improve their economic participation and become more independent in their daily lives by being able to go shopping or pay a bill.
Making Money Easy has been supported by various funders and supporters. We gratefully acknowledge their assistance to make this program a reality.
