I'm sorry, but I don't know enough about Tricare to be
of much help there, but my son also has sensory issues
and we have those issues addressed in his IEP. If
you're in the states, does your son currently have an
IEP? If he does you might want to ask for a meeting to
have it revised to help you get the school district to
supply an OT who will work with him on sensory
dysfunction.

In the meantime, I can suggest a book I've found
really helpful in finding ways to help my son on my
own. The name of the book is "The Out-Of-Sync Child
Has Fun: Activities for Kids With Sensory Integration
Dysfunction" by Carol Stock.,M.A. Kranowitz. The book
is divided into sections for activities that help the
different kinds of sensory dysfunction (vestibular,
tactile, etc.).

Good luck! I know how tough it can be to get even the
professionals to recognize sensory dysfunction. It's
so much easier to blame it on behavior. But hang in
there, you know your child the best!
