My DS was first screened by two therapists (ST and PT) through the school district at age 3.5 (I was in the room)...plus I had a very comprehensive form to complete as well as my detailed history of DS. In his full evaluation...DH & I both were present as well as an OT, PT, ST, the head school district psychologist (knowledgeable on IA/PI kids) and an ESE (special needs/gifted) representative.

You need to gear this toward how it will impact him educationally and not stress the sensory issues...our school district does NOT address the SPD only. DS qualified for his IEP and special needs classes due to severe speech impairment and significant developmental delays but his sensory issues are addressed daily in his special needs classroom...no therapists other than speech through the district. However he gets no therapy through the district for sensory issues...that was addressed through private OT and now intensive home therapy.

Now that he will age out of his current program (once he turns 6) he will qualify for continuing speech issues and will most likely be labeled as OHI (other health impaired) based on ADHD like behaviors (not medicated or DXed as of right now.)

Good luck...I completely agree about getting an outside evaluation ASAP.
