The Conner Group for Pediatric Therapies Tifton

When trying to withdraw my child from the conner group due to several concerns that, I'm sure they nor myself want on the internet, I got to see just how unprofessional and uncaring this establishment truly is. If being concerned for my child's health and safety makes me the bad guy then thats what I will be, after disclosing my reasons for pulling him out I was encountered with what can only be described as hostility and them claiming I was being accusatory when just stating the facts of the situation and that his progress was drastically declining instead of improving to the extent his other therapies began to notice, to be told a decrease in his progress was normal and to be expected which coincidentally only began after an incident with his therapist at this establishment. Due to the sensitivity of what happend and my child's privacy I will not be posting what happend here but anyone is more than welcome to reach out to me and see messages and hear about what happend. As a mother of a nonverbal child his health and safety is first and foremost and its my job as his mother to protect him if I feel something is not right. Declining at the rate where his other therapies have even noticed is not normal or to be expected like I was told. I am hoping this review can offer other parents a glimpse into how this establishment handles things and is run to make better informed decisions about your child and their potential for improvement when using this establishment.

I feel compelled to share my deeply troubling experience with The Conner Group for Pediatric Therapies in Tifton. My son has been receiving services there for almost two years, and I have always tried to approach his therapy with the utmost care and consideration. Unfortunately, recent events have led me to believe that the organization is lacking in both moral ethics and sound decision-making, which I find not only disheartening but deeply concerning for any parent considering their services. Last month, I experienced a frightening and aggressive encounter while driving to pick up my son. As I was on my way to the clinic, I was repeatedly pursued and aggressively tailgated by another driver, who attempted to run me off the road several times. This dangerous pursuit continued for about two miles before the driver eventually sped past me and disappeared into traffic. Still shaken by the event, I approached the clinic with caution, remaining vigilant for any signs of the aggressive driver. Upon arriving at the clinic, I proceeded with the usual routine of picking up my son. As I walked toward the door, I saw the same man rapidly pull into the parking lot and exit his vehicle. Recognizing the threat, I immediately informed the clinic staff of the situation. The man was subsequently asked to leave the premises. Following this incident, I had a conversation with my son's new RBT therapist about a separate concern—specifically, a recent incident where my son was reprimanded for pushing toy cars down a slide on the playground. Given that my son has had a slide in his bedroom for most of his life, where we’ve encouraged him to slide cars down it, I suggested that perhaps we could have a conversation with the supervisor to come to a fair resolution. I felt this could be an opportunity to discuss the matter with more context and understanding. However, shortly after this, I was informed that a meeting had been scheduled with my son’s father and me. At first, we were both confused by the sudden urgency but attended the meeting, concerned about what it might involve. To our shock and dismay, during the meeting, it was made clear that I was being regarded as a problem and a threat to the clinic, particularly regarding the situation with the aggressive driver. The staff informed me that, due to this incident, I would no longer be allowed on the property, but my son could continue attending the clinic. As a mother, this is a situation I could not accept. I immediately voiced my objection, stating that this would not be possible. To be told that I, the victim of a terrifying and dangerous incident, was somehow the one at fault was not only unfathomable but deeply unjust. The fact that the owner/operator of the clinic chose to side with the aggressor and effectively banned me from the premises, while allowing my son to continue attending, speaks volumes about their lack of judgment and ethical standards. It is incredibly disheartening that I was treated as the problem when I was the one who was pursued and harassed by an individual with no business being on that property. The decision to paint me as the aggressor and take such drastic action against me—banning me from the very place my son receives therapy—was a choice that feels completely unjustifiable. I believe it is crucial for potential clients to be aware of this incident and the clinic’s response, as it raises serious concerns about their professionalism, empathy, and commitment to fair treatment of families. I can no longer, in good conscience, recommend The Conner Group for Pediatric Therapies. Parents should be cautious when considering this clinic, as their decision-making process and ethical standards are clearly questionable.
