C.O.R.E. Methods is an approach created by Dr. Bethany Bilodeau, CEO of C.O.R.E. Vocational Services, Inc. Dr. Bilodeau created C.O.R.E. Methods to help students at many different levels become successful within their school and community. CORE’s approach is extremely flexible and meets students and educators in their environments. Providing support and education to those around the student to create a path of integration. Their results average 83% integrated within the school year. CORE assesses the school and classroom values and uses that to guide the student toward success by providing recognition and sensory feedback. Our goal at C.O.R.E. is for those we serve to achieve the highest level of independence possible .We provide a significant amount of 1:1 support to start to assess what the needs, abilities, and interests of the student are. Our goal is that the student would be as independent as possible by the time they no longer use our services. We do this by assisting with setting up tours, job shadows, internships and volunteer opportunities. We assist those we serve by helping to create a network of support as well as decreasing support over time. We use long term goals (often time path planning) to assess what will be needed over time and develop plans of routinized training to learn skills.
