COMMUNITY OFFERINGS
“One of the marvelous things about community is that it enables us to welcome and help people in a way we couldn't as individuals.”
~Jean Vanier
As part of our mission The Liberty School offers several community
outreach programs for the betterment of our community.
Dyslexia Screenings – $100
We provide low-cost dyslexia screenings as an accessible first step for families seeking clarity about their child’s learning needs. These screenings help identify whether a student may be at risk for dyslexia and can guide decisions about next steps for support.
Diagnostic Disclaimer
While a screening does not provide a formal diagnosis, the results can indicate whether a more in-depth assessment may be beneficial. A formal dyslexia diagnosis can only be made through a comprehensive psychoeducational evaluation conducted by a qualified professional, such as an educational psychologist.
What to Expect
During the initial visit, the student will work one-on-one with our dyslexia screener, Tracy Brothers. Over the course of about an hour, the student completes approximately five assessments designed to identify their language and processing strengths and weaknesses.
After the screening, we schedule a separate follow-up meeting with parents to review the screening report and discuss recommendations for next steps. This follow-up meeting is included in the $100 cost of the dyslexia screening.

Orton-Gillingham Language Training
Twice a year, our very own MJ Bilgrav offers an intensive 40–hour Orton-Gillingham (OG) Training class. The OG Approach is a scientifically researched-based language instruction. It is multi-sensory, structured, sequential, cumulative, cognitive and flexible. Its breadth, perspective, and flexibility prompt use of the term approach instead of method or program. Learning the OG approach provides in-depth knowledge on how to use any phonic-based program more effectively.
The OG approach is appropriate for teaching individuals, small groups, and in classrooms with typical readers and readers with learning differences. This class is designed specifically for reading specialists, special-ed teachers, kindergarten, primary, elementary classroom teacher, private tutors, and parents.
