Your son has SPD, right? SPD and ADHD can look a lot alike. If he is managing in some environments (school) and not others (home), it is more likely to be SPD issues.
Here is an interesting article:

Maybe you need to adjust how you manage his SPD at home. How is his sensory diet? I don't know much about therapuetic listening, but do you know if there were certain aspects of it that were especially helpful? A certain type of music, certain excercises? If so, can you somehow incorporate that into his daily routine/sensory diet. For example, maybe before eating breakfast/getting dressed he needs some time to do heavy work, excercise, or do yoga to music. That means building extra time into your schedule, but if it helps him focus and stay on track it could be worth it.
Have you done the brushing protocol? How about a weighted vest?

This comment made me chuckle because the things you mention: sensory issues (spd), pragmatic language isues, social issues, and motor planning issues are pretty much the definition of ASD (inc. Aspergers).
