[quote=Anonymous]OP, it's like you are describing my kid.  We also started with an SPD diagnosis when he was 2.5 and got an ADHD diagnosis this past spring.  He's not on meds yet.  We have excellent communication with his teacher and OT, and so far their recommendation is to wait until 1st grade.  He does good with his accommodations and extra OT support.   He gets daily OT pull outs.  As far as accommodations, they are as follows:

Preferential seating - he sits close to his teacher(s) and far, far away from any distractions

Inflatable cushion - whenever they have long seating assignments

Compression vest - whenever he requests a lot sensory input.  For example, he gets really excited during any "science"-related activities, he's absolutely crazy about them.  In order to wind down his energy, they put on a compression vest.  Really helps him self-regulate and focus.

Visual schedule - we were really blessed that his teacher had it prepared for him on the very first day of school.

Here's a good place to look for ideas, as well as a great book on sensory children:  http://sensorysmarts.com/working_with_schools.html
