Abstract:	This study aims to develop animated video-based learning media to enhance the writing skills of deaf students. The research employed a Research and Development (R&D) approach using the ADDIE model. The participants included 90 special education teachers for needs analysis and 11 deaf students from three special schools for product testing. Data were collected through questionnaires and performance tests, and analyzed using both descriptive and inferential statistics. The developed animated video was designed with accessible features and evaluated through expert validation as well as limited and extensive field trials. The results indicated that the media was highly feasible in terms of design and functionality. Furthermore, the statistical test results showed a significance value of 0.003 (Asymp. Sig. 2-tailed), indicating a significant difference between pre-test and post-test scores. This finding confirms that the animated video media effectively improved students’ ability to construct sentences and apply proper writing structures. The integration of visual and interactive elements successfully increased engagement and motivation. The study concludes that animated video media provides an effective and practical solution for supporting the writing development of deaf students, thereby contributing to more inclusive learning practices in special education.
