About Broaden Psychology
Broaden Psychology provides child psychology assessments in Adelaide, assessing children's intellectual, learning, social, emotional, and behavioural skills.

What Broaden helps with
Psychoeducational Assessment
Comprehensive assessment including intellectual and academic assessments to identify underlying issues and provide a path forward.
Intellectual Assessment
Assessment of children's intellectual abilities and cognitive skills.
A structured evaluation by a psychologist or psychiatrist to determine whether ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) is present. It typically includes questionnaires, clinical interviews, rating scales and sometimes cognitive testing, and results in recommendations for support and treatment.
A multi-disciplinary evaluation that determines whether a child or adult meets the criteria for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). It usually involves observation, standardised assessments and parent or teacher interviews, resulting in a diagnostic report that opens access to therapy and NDIS supports.
Ongoing therapy sessions for children requiring support with academic performance, social skills, or emotional regulation.

Our approach
Broaden Psychology provides child psychology assessments focusing on intellectual, learning, social, emotional, and behavioural skills using the latest interactive technology via iPads. Every effort is made to ensure the assessment process is comfortable and engaging for your child. The service aims to identify underlying issues and provide a clear path forward for supporting your child's growth and development. Assessment options include face-to-face and telehealth appointments for families unable to access in-person services. The practice also offers the Westmead Feelings Program for children with autism, which develops emotional regulation and social skills in close collaboration with parents and carers.
Working with families
Broaden Psychology emphasises close collaboration with parents and carers, particularly through the Westmead Feelings Program which includes dedicated parent sessions alongside child sessions. The program involves parents in supporting the development of emotional regulation and social skills for children with autism. Sessions can be held at your child's home or school, helping integrate learning into familiar environments. This family-centred approach recognises that parents and carers play a key role in supporting your child's progress and development.
