Course Curriculum
Hi there, I’m Dolly Bhargava,
I completed a Bachelor of Applied Science in Speech Pathology from the University of Sydney and a Master of Special Education from the University of Newcastle.
Midway through my career I realised my passion was in supporting children, adolescents and adults with emotional and behavioural difficulties (EBD). So I started working extensively with individuals with EBD in a variety of settings such as family homes, childcare centres, schools, respite care, post school options, employment services and corrective services. I have created this online course to equip parents, childcare staff, teachers, youth and disability staff with the knowledge, skills and tools to transform the lives of the individuals they support.
This online course is based on the practical wisdom I have gathered from working with individuals with EBD, their families and incredible staff over the last 20 years. I hope this course EDUCATES - EMPOWERS - ENABLES you to continue supporting the individual reach their full potential.

Parents and carers

"I signed up to this course in hope of getting some practical tips for managing oppositional and defiant behaviours in students that I as a primary school teacher assistant encounter during a working day. I really gained alot from this case study based course. I was able to trial the strategies as I participated. It was rewarding to see the student achieve/do something that they initally resisted e.g. staying in the classroom (without much disruption) for the entire lesson; through to doing work that they believed they couldn’t do or was too babyish for them. Thank you for a great course."

"Thank you for an amazingly useful course. I gained insights into how students with ODD think and why they react the way they do. I learnt various strategies that will assist me with the development of student learning outcomes. I will be highly recommending it to my colleagues."
