Anyone familiar with an AAC device?

I'm a speech pathologist...
There are a lot of different types of AAC devices that can range from low-tech to very high-tech.
Do you know what kind of device they are thinking about?
AAC just stands for augmentative and alternative communication - so it can range anywhere from a picture system to a computerized device...

I'm actually not sure. My son has apraxia. He is 4 and just starting to say syllables that sound like words. Both his therapists are recommending that he be evaluated for one, but they have not told me anything more.
