CORE Methods offers personalized behavioral coaching and consultation for parents, caregivers, educators, and school teams navigating behavioral and emotional challenges.
Coaching may address a range of behavioral, emotional, and executive functioning challenges, including those associated with ADHD.

Led by Dr. Bethany Bilodeau, coaching focuses on understanding the factors influencing behavior and developing realistic strategies that support safety, connection, communication, and independence.
Whether you’re responding to an immediate challenge or looking to build more effective approaches for the future, CORE Methods provides individualized guidance grounded in understanding rather than judgment.
Coaching for Educators & School Teams
Classroom coaching helps educators better understand challenging behavior and develop practical strategies that support students within their educational environments.
Rather than focusing only on what happens during a difficult moment, Dr. B works with educators to recognize patterns, identify early signs of dysregulation, and consider the underlying needs influencing student behavior.
Coaching may address:
- Classroom routines and transitions
- Student engagement and participation
- Emotional and sensory regulation
- Communication and relationship-building
- Escalation patterns and proactive responses
- Individualized behavioral support strategies
The goal is to help educators feel more confident responding to challenges while creating environments that support safety, connection, and learning.
Coaching for Parents & Caregivers
Parent coaching provides individualized support for families navigating challenging behaviors, emotional regulation difficulties, and everyday parenting concerns.
Dr. B helps parents and caregivers better understand the needs and nervous system responses that may contribute to behavioral challenges, while developing practical strategies that fit their family’s circumstances.
Coaching may address:
- Meltdowns and emotional outbursts
- Aggression and challenging behavior
- Transitions and daily routines
- Communication and connection
- Sensory needs and emotional regulation
- Building predictable, supportive home environments
The focus is on helping families strengthen relationships, respond to challenges with greater confidence, and create sustainable strategies for everyday life
ADHD Coaching & Executive Functioning
ADHD can affect more than attention. Challenges with organization, task initiation, emotional regulation, transitions, and impulse control can influence daily life at home and in the classroom.
CORE Methods offers individualized ADHD coaching to help parents, caregivers, and educators better understand these challenges and develop strategies that support children and students in everyday environments.
Coaching may focus on strengthening routines, supporting executive functioning skills, improving communication, reducing overwhelm, and creating environments that make successful participation more achievable.
Rather than relying on one-size-fits-all solutions, Dr. B helps identify strategies that reflect each individual’s strengths, needs, and circumstances.
How Dr. B’s Coaching Works
Behavior is influenced by a combination of individual experiences, neurological and sensory processes, relationships, communication, and environmental factors.
Dr. Bilodeau approaches coaching with an understanding of these interconnected influences, helping parents and educators move beyond reacting to behavior and toward understanding what may be contributing to it.
Understanding the Individual
Coaching begins by exploring the concerns, experiences, strengths, and needs of the person receiving support.
Identifying Patterns & Contributing Factors
Together, Dr. B and the parent or educational team explore situations, environmental demands, communication patterns, and other factors that may influence behavior.
Developing Practical Strategies
Coaching focuses on realistic approaches that can be applied in everyday situations, including proactive supports, emotional regulation strategies, communication, and relationship building.
Adjusting Support as Needs Change
Strategies can be revisited and adapted as new informaton emerges and progress develops.
The goal is not simply to respond to difficult behaviors, but to build understanding, confidence, and more sustainable ways of providing support.
An Individualized, Evidence-Informed Approach
Dr. Bilodeau draws from extensive experience in behavioral support, trauma-informed practices, nervous system regulation, and relationship centered approaches.
Rather than relying on a single intervention model, she considers the needs of the individual and the circumstances surrounding the behavior to help identify appropriate strategies.
Her professional background and training inform a flexible approach designed to support children, families, educators, and school teams in real-world environments.
