animation software suggestions and where to get shoes for toe walkers

Darpaulin

Hello

This is my first post and I don't know if there is anyone out there who can give me any guidance in two issues.  

Our teenage son is severely handicapped by his autistism with limited communication skills but he loves using his computer - he is self-taught (XP operating system) to create pictures and powerpoint slide shows that act like a flickbook to animate objects which he films sometimes with a soundtrack.  He is asking about animation software but there are so many options out there I was wondering if anyone had experience of their child using animation software and what they have found successful.  

Also he has been a toe walker from the day after he started to walk and finding footwear that will stay on his feet is difficult.  He currently has some great lightweight flexible soled ankle boots from Brantano but these are no longer available. Does anyone have any suggestions as to where footwear for strong toe walkers can be purchased?

I would be grateful for any suggestions concerning these two matters.

    Thank you very much for the information about the Calagri Truespace 3D package.  It may not be what our son starts with but it sounds like the sort of package that does what he is really wanting to do.  His communication skills are very limited so his IT skills have been learnt by trial and error and a lot of frustration however he has developed excellent IT skills in his areas of interest.

    Many thanks again.
