Celebrating our documentary WHO KNEW Dyslexia is a Way of Thinking:
An enormous thank you to all those who came to the Premiere on Sunday March 9, all those who bid for our auction items, and all those who supported this incredible achievement.
This event went beyond our wildest dreams, the film was so warmly received and we raised $2,800 for our program sponsorship fund. Now WHO KNOWS where WHO KNEW will lead us, all we know is that it will be magical.
We thought you might like
to know the full story of how the documentary came about
to see the trailer Director Kelly Conlin has created to submit to Film Festivals. She feels a wider audience needs to know this information. We are hoping it reaches teacher training colleges
to continue donating to our program sponsorships, and
to sign a petition which will ask for Davis program and Davis Learning Strategies for K-3 and Davis Learning Strategies for Early Years to be part of our education system.
Even before our Premiere, we learned that Jamie Oliver is also making a documentary on his experience of dyslexia, so we sent it to him! No news yet…
We explained we are a unique national charity, having the advantage of understanding why so-called learning disabilities arise. Confident in this knowledge we advocate very different, evidence-based programs designed to ensure every individual has the opportunity of fulfilling their potential. https://www.thewds.org/what-we-do
