I WISH equipment and advice for my disabled son

My son is 4 and a high functioning autisitc with a muscle tone problem in his face mainly the mouth . My water broke at 29 weeks and he was born at 32 . He was not swallowing the amnoitic fluid so it did not get recycled and I popped litterally .It was because of his muscle tone in his mouth he could not swallow it .They think it may be related to his disablitybut not sure.He has been to several developmental peds and genetist , and has been in therapies since he was 9 motnhs old. He needs tools to help strengthen his mouth I only have jigglers and can not seem to get the rest of what he needs .http://www.beyondplay.com/ITEMS/T928.HTM this is one of them and the spray flavors to go with it so he will let me do this .He also needs a weighted blanket so he can sleep . He has so much trouble he is always moving .If anyone knows how to make this I would love to know how I know that is cheaper. http://www.beyondplay.com/cgi-bin/SEARCH.PL .He is sound sensitive and I need advice on how to handle that do ear plugs work ?? I have 2 other kids so it is hard to just stay home .He also can not balance on a bike even with tarining wheels I need to know how other parents handle that ?? Any other advice would be great .I feel so bad about the bike thing he put his little helmet on and really wants to and he just falls it is so sad .He really trys .Right now he is regressing agian and he was doing so well . thanks

  What I was trying to say is if you need money to purchase the equipment, post that in a comment on here.

  You might want to contact: The Autism Society of the Panhandle. They are a nonprofit, tax-exempt association of parents, professionals and other concerned community members dedicated to the education and welfare of children and adults with autism and related disorders of communication and behavior. http://www.autismpensacola.org/index.htm
  
  Also if you need help on purchasing the equipment post that is a comment. If you have a PayPal address that might help as well.
