thanks for all your help.  I will look into the feldenkrais and the 
other resources.  assistive devices for speech would be great.  having 
alternatives to speech would be good.  as for eating, I'm using 
techniques for sensory disorders/acid reflux (being very careful about 
what I eat, taking meds, eating small meals, avoiding the difficult 
foods) and that helps with the oversensitivity, but not with the 
physical difficulties in chewing and eating.  I'll look into the other 
suggestions.

thanks,

Mary Katherine

if anyone wants to email me offlist, that would be great.
