About Dolly Bhargava

I am Dolly Bhargava, a dedicated professional with a Bachelor of Applied Science in Speech Pathology from the University of Sydney, a Master of Special Education from the University of Newcastle, and a Certificate IV in Training and Assessment. 

 

My career began with roles in prominent support agencies, including the Department of Ageing, Disability, and Home Care NSW, the Royal Institute for Deaf and Blind Children of NSW, the Department of Justice WA, the Neurosciences Unit, and the Autism Association of Western Australia, among others. These experiences provided me with a strong foundation in supporting diverse individuals with varying needs.

 

A pivotal moment in my journey was the mentorship I received from Ylana Bloom (Autism Central – Speech Pathologist). Together, we co-authored several books, drawing upon Ylana’s invaluable insights and extensive experience in working with individuals with disabilities. This collaboration greatly influenced my approach to care and education.

 

Midway through my career, I discovered my true passion: supporting children, adolescents, and adults with emotional and behavioural difficulties (EBD). My work has since focused on providing support across a variety of settings, including family homes, childcare centres, schools, respite care, post-school options, employment services, and corrective services.

 

Drawing from over 25 years of practical experience, I founded the Behaviour Help website to share the knowledge, skills, and tools I’ve developed. Moving forward with technology to better meet the needs of caregivers, I am excited to introduce the Behaviour Help App—a cutting-edge tool accessible on all devices. 

 

Designed to support parents, teachers, practitioners, and other caregivers, this innovative app facilitates collaboration in delivering positive behaviour support at home, in school, and within the community for individuals of all ages with emotional and behavioural difficulties.

 

The Behaviour Help App is your trusted partner to seamlessly track, log and analyse behaviour data. It conducts data-driven Functional Behaviour Assessments and develops comprehensive Behaviour Support Plans tailored to individual needs.

 

My goal is to Educate, Empower, and Enable those who support individuals with EBD to foster positive behaviours and emotional management.

 

Thank you for taking the time to learn more about my journey. I look forward to helping you make a meaningful difference.
