I just completed the DPNS course this past October and the instructor spoke 
extensively about the importance of salivation in swallow and that the Tech 
#11: Foley tech was to stimulate Autonomic salivation.  This information can 
be found in the course manual.  Try the Tech # 11 on yourself and you'll see 
the results.  This has worked well with individuals with dry mouth at our 
facility.
