His diagnosis isn't very severe and he's very functional everywhere but school, where he is extremely overstimulated. But he has many years of school ahead of him, so I really want to make sure we give him every possible tool to succeed there. He is incredibly bright, but his difficult behavior tends to overshadow that with his teachers.

Have you ever considered homeschooling? My very bright SPD kid can't learn in a conventional classroom - too much (noise, motion, lights) happening for him to process. Learning at home, in a cyber school, he is an A+ student, took his first college level course at 11. If he were in a regular school, he'd be too busy just trying to cope to learn anything.
