Facilitator

Dolly Bhargava
Dolly 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 Dolly's career, Dolly realised her passion was in supporting children, adolescents, and adults with emotional and behavioural difficulties (EBD). So Dolly 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. Dolly has 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 Dolly has gathered from working with individuals with EBD, their families and incredible staff over the last 20 years. Dolly hopes this course educates, empowers, and enables you.
