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.

"I am a youth worker supporting young people from complex backgrounds. I did this course to find out how to build supportive relationships and encourage youths with anxiety to take part in activities. I have been implanting the strategies that I have learnt in this course. It has been very rewarding to see the youths come out of their shells and start communicating with me and have success in their social interactions with their peers. Thank you."
