Reviews for Lindy Petersen are notably mixed, with a clear divide between parents who describe her as warm, thorough, and effective, and those who raise serious concerns about her assessment work with children. Several positive reviewers highlight her calm, caring manner and practical strategies, while multiple critical reviewers — including at least two who later received autism diagnoses for their children elsewhere — report that her assessments missed significant conditions, with one describing the use of dismissive language in a written report and another raising concerns about her failure to consult both parents during an assessment. Prospective clients should also be aware of at least one report of an unhelpful reception experience when the practice had closed books.
