✨ Grateful Beyond Words ✨

What an incredible honour to have WHO KNEW Dyslexia is a Way of Thinking nominated for Best Direction in the Short Documentary category at the Leo Awards.

While we didn’t take home the award, being recognized alongside so many talented BC filmmakers was an experience we will never forget.

Our deepest gratitude goes to Kelly Conlin, our director, whose passion, creativity, and vision brought this story to life. We are so proud of the film she created and the journey it continues to take.

Thank you to our production team, supporters, and everyone who has helped WHO KNEW reach audiences around the world.

And the journey continues…

WHO KNEW is now available to watch on TELUS Optik TV, bringing this important conversation about dyslexia into more homes and communities.

We are also continuing to share the film through private community screenings. If you would like to be the first to hear about upcoming screening opportunities, please join our mailing list at https://www.thewds.org/documentary-who-knew

The ripples continue to grow.

Thank you for being part of this journey.

Who knows? You might even end up featured in our challenge updates!

Every step is helping raise funds to provide life-changing Davis programme bursaries for individuals who think and learn differently.

To every parent who held it together in public and fell apart in the car, we see you.

To every neurodivergent adult who has spent a lifetime translating themselves for others, we see you too.

This Mental Health Awareness Month, we want to end with this: your struggle is real, your exhaustion is valid, and your child's mind is not broken. Neither is yours.

The Davis Method exists because Ron Davis knew what it felt like to be misunderstood, and decided to do something about it. That mission hasn't changed. Help is available. You don't have to keep going it alone. Find a Davis Facilitator near you — www.davismethod.com/facilitator. Take the first step today.

LOVE THIS! Thank you Davis UK & Ireland & Gifts for Dyslexia for this meaningful initiative, helping families and individuals in financial need receive the programs they need.

Friends! Check out the ways you can support Richard and Tanya on their Bridges to Books 80 mile walk. 🫶🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️

💡 A small idea that could make a difference 📚

Over the past couple of days, I’ve shared a little about Bridges to Books.

It’s a small initiative to help make the Davis approach more accessible — particularly for those who would really value it, but can’t easily access it.

It won’t resonate with everyone.

But if you’ve seen what happens when reading doesn’t “click”…
and how much it matters when it finally does…

it may be worth a look.

You’re very welcome to explore it.

Hello Friends! Thank you Master Dyslexia for screening our award winning documentary WHO KNEW Dyslexia is a Way of Thinking.

For some parents it's a relief. Finally, a name for what they've been watching.

For others it's frightening. A label that feels like a ceiling.

For most — it's both at once.

"It really surprised me. I didn't know what I didn't know."

That's a parent in the 𝗪𝗛𝗢 𝗞𝗡𝗘𝗪: 𝗗𝘆𝘀𝗹𝗲𝘅𝗶𝗮 𝗶𝘀 𝗮 𝗪𝗮𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 documentary.

And it's the most common thing I hear from parents after they finally understand how their child's mind actually works.

The film is 33 minutes. Award-winning. Still screening at international festivals — and unavailable anywhere online.

We're hosting one final free NZ screening on 𝗧𝘂𝗲𝘀𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝟭𝟮 𝗠𝗮𝘆. No replay. Ever.

📅 𝗧𝘂𝗲𝘀𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝟭𝟮 𝗠𝗮𝘆 — 7pm NZT / 5pm AEST 🎬

Free. Online. Last NZ screening for a while.
