Occupational Therapist is not qualified to diagnose many of the things Sensory Issues maybe associated issues with, however can help your child with those sensory issues.
If you are just starting out your journey and you need to know what is at the core of the sensory and attention concerns with your child you will need to see an Educational Psychologist- this is the only professional who can diagnose and advise on a an appropriate course of action.
In my personal experience with my own 3 boys - many children have sensory issues at a very young age and inattention is also very common. However is could also be a sign of Autism, ADHD or nothing at all. Only an Educational Psychologist can diagnose. Occupational therapist will treat.
Good luck mama!
