Understanding the factor’s influencing behavior is an important step toward developing effective support strategies.

Alternative Education Program
CORE Methods offers an individualized alternative education program for students who require additional behavioral, emotional, and educational support beyond what their current setting can provide.
The program combines structured learning environments, behavioral intervention, staff collaboration, and individualized planning to help students develop the skills needed for greater independence and educational participation.
A central goal is to support student progress and, when appropriate, successful reintegration into less restrictive educational settings.

What to Expect When Working with CORE Methods
Every individual, family, and educational environment is different. Rather than applying the same intervention to every situation, CORE Methods begins by understanding the specific concerns, strengths, and needs involved.
Depending on the service, support may include:
Assessment & Understanding
Reviewing available information, identifying behavioral patterns, and exploring the individual and environmental factors that may contribute to challenges.
Collaborative Planning
Working with families, educators, administrators, and other members of the support team to identify priorities, establish goals, and develop appropriate strategies.
Direct Support & Intervention
Providing individualized behavioral support and practical intervention strategies within relevant home, school, or educational environments.
Training & Professional Guidance
Helping parents, educators, and support teams understand behavioral needs, recognize early signs of dysregulation, and respond with greater confidence and consistency.
Ongoing Collaboration
Reviewing progress, addressing emerging concerns, and adjusting strategies as needs and circumstances change.
The specific services, timeline, and level of involvement are determined by the needs of the individual or organization and the scope of the support being provided.
A Flexible, Relationship-Centered Approach
At CORE Methods, effective behavioral support begins with understanding the person behind the behavior.
Dr. Bilodeau’s approach emphasizes safety, connection, communication, emotional regulation, and individualized strategies rather than relying on a single intervention model.
By combining behavioral expertise with collaborative, evidence-informed practices, CORE Methods helps families, educators, and organizations develop approaches that can be applied in real-world situations.
