[quote=Anonymous]You can still work with an ABA or behavioral therapist to visit the school to help implement behavioral strategies, but I would try implementing the pattern at home first.  Rewards can be an M&M, sticker, gold star, little toy like they have at the dentist/pediatrician and you can definitely start with the morning routine b/f he leaves the house.  Eventually the rewards are replaced by praise.

Is this a full day preschool/day care situation or is he in elementary school already?  If he's in a full day preschool program and you're not working full time, you might want to rethink the schedule and cut back on the number of hours.

SPD isn't an official diagnosis in the DSM and usually doesn't exist in isolation.  If he's this resistant to potty training and/or is low tone, more than likely there are other factors at play.  ADHD isn't always the reason for sensory issues.

ADHD is neurological BTW, e.g.: http://www.ninds.nih.gov/disorders/adhd/adhd.htm
as is autism and a host of other things.  If he was potty trained "for years" and has regressed in this skill, I would definitely seek out a developmental pediatrician.  You need a fuller picture to be better able to help him.[/quote]
