Hi,
I think these issues are very complicated to deal with, even with kids who do not have sensory issues. We are expected to teach our kids to control their aggression, even when they are under physical attack. Not like the old days, when physical fights among kids were generally just broken up if they got out of control.
Does your daughter fight back?
Sometimes i wish I had just let my son hit my daugter back when she was overly aggressive, even though she was younger. It might have had more of an impact on her behavior than parental intervention. Hard to know. I do think that my son's sense that he had to excercise self control all the time led to a lot of resentment and emotional pain for him.

A pediatric neurologist may be a good first step. Often there is hypotonia or neorological "soft signs". He/she can make a referral to an OT.
