A Behavioral Sensory Integration (BSI), Fitness, and Nutrition services company. We provide a broad range of co-located complimenting health, fitness and well-being services to the community. We do this through our own business unit services and strategic alliances with other specialized service providers.

Our business provides services for the special needs community within the local communities in which we operate, across a broad spectrum of clientele, including mainstream children (fitness, tutoring, and learning competition skills), and clients with a variety of diagnosis ranging from ADD, ADHD, Autism, PDD NOS and other learning disabilities, Cerebral Palsy, Williams Syndrome, and Aspergers Syndrome to name but a few. Our business units evaluate clients prior to making recommendations regarding what services we feel fit best for that particular client.

Our BMOD Fitness Unit, run by Jerry Bennett, is focused on providing behavioral and fitness coaching and helping people learn how to learn with Play. The development of the Behavioral Sensory Integration (BSI) [Patent Pending] approach, developed by Jerry and Tonya Bennett, has allowed Discovery Services Group to offer every family that has a member in need of specialized coaching an opportunity to participate and learn socially acceptable behaviors while simultaneously becoming better fit and in more control of their own body. The BSI and Fitness program principals were developed integrating knowledge from the fields and areas of psychology, physiology, sports medicine, special education, leadership development and occupational therapy. The BSI and Fitness program is applied in an integrated approach tailored to each client and capitalizes on incidental learning opportunities in a dynamic sports environment.

The California Department of Developmental Services is the agency through which the State of California provides services and supports to individuals with developmental disabilities.

These disabilities include mental retardation, cerebral palsy, epilepsy, autism and related conditions. Services are provided through state-operated developmental centers and community facilities, and contracts with 21 nonprofit regional centers. The regional centers serve as a local resource to help find and access the services and supports available to individuals with developmental disabilities and their families.

Eligibility for Services

To be eligible for services, a person must have a disability that begins before the person's 18th birthday, be expected to continue indefinitely and present a substantial disability as defined in Section 4512 of the California Welfare and Institutions Code. Eligibility is established through diagnosis and assessment performed by regional centers.

Infants and toddlers (age 0 to 36 months) who are at risk of having developmental disabilities or who have a developmental delay may also qualify for services. The criteria for determining the eligibility of infants and toddlers is specified in Section 95014 of the California Government Code. In addition, individuals at risk of having a child with a developmental disability may be eligible for genetic diagnosis, counseling and other prevention services. These services fall under Early Start.
