Said on another thread, will say it here too: if the SPD was diagnosed by an OT, and the 2E issues are continuing, I'd encourage a closer look by a neuropsychologist. Often OTs diagnose SPD when the core diagnosis should really be something else; the SPD is only part of the puzzle, but it's what they are trained to diagnose.
I'm seeking a referral to a developmental pediatrician currently, but it was much research on my part that leads me to believe the diagnosis of SPD is accurate. I requested the OT eval, and the OT merely confirmed sensory processing issues. The school psychologist coded DS with a "developmental delay" to qualify him for an IEP. We have some great specialists in this area and one of the top children's hospitals in the country, so I expect we should be able to dig deeper after the referral goes through. I definitely wanted to pursue a medical diagnosis.
