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.

Wow, I loved these lectures. So many people assume that kids are just being naughty when they act aggressively, but in fact, there is so much going on in the brain. More awareness and less judgement can only be a good thing.

As teachers, we are aware of the challenges that young people face in their everyday lives. We know that children can not reach their full potential if their basic needs are not met. However, we do not always know which of our students are living in environments that damage, rather than foster healthy physical or mental health. Statistics are telling us that too many young people are coming to school hungry or hurt. The classroom must be a haven for all students. A place where they feel valued, supported and authentically cared for. Thank you for this course. Its helped me learn how to create and foster an environment so that students are free to grow, both academically and socially.

"What I really liked about the course was learning about how to identify the causes of aggressive behaviours, how to address them and build a positive relationship with the student."
