7 1/2 year old still wets pants daily, dry at night...HELP!

My son gave up diapers at 3, and from 3 to 4 was doing great with only occasional accidents. Around his 4th birthday, from what I remember, he started having more and more wet days at preschool.
He is now in second grade. Over the years we have tried sticker charts, a watch that beeps on the hour every hour, and instilling the help of teachers. Nothing works. Even when he is at home playing (3 feet away from the bathroom), he will end up wet because he was busy or too focused to notice. He always says he doesn't feel it, doesn't know when it happens.
He has recently been diagnosed with SPD. The neurologist has said that because he is 99% dry at night, then it is definitely related to the SPD. We will be starting back up with OT again soon, and have also been given a referral to do horseback riding therapy. I must add that my son functions quite normally in his day to day life.....has friends, is successful in school, and even enjoys different sports and after school activities.
PLEASE HELP! I just feel sooooo helpless!
thank you..........
