Founder of Logolab. I pay special attention to the development of executive functions and different ways of processing language in babies and children.
I am Nina Krotić — a wife, mother, founder of Logolab, graduate speech and language therapist (defectologist–surdologist), and graduate linguist in general linguistics. I pay special attention to the development of executive functions and different ways of processing language in babies and children.
I founded Logolab on the belief that babies and children acquire speech and language through authentic and meaningful communication with an adult who recognizes the child's strengths, follows the child's interests, respects the child's play, and provides language models aligned with the child's way of acquiring and processing language.
I completed my internship and gained my first five years of professional experience in a Belgrade institution, where I encountered methods that did not align with my values and principles. Since 2009, I have been a regular professional associate at The International School of Belgrade, where I conduct assessments of executive functions, speech and language status, and speech and language therapy in both Serbian and English.
The children I work with often have diverse communication needs and are frequently learning to speak more than one language. They are my greatest inspiration and motivation to continuously learn and explore new knowledge to help them reach their full potential. Thanks to the exceptional learning support team at the school and their professionalism, I have always ensured that my professional development meets their high standards.
Beyond my education and additional training, the most significant experience I gained was when I became a mother. My pregnancy was high-risk, with complications that endangered both my baby and me. After a difficult delivery, my baby required time in an incubator, and challenges such as hypertonia in the limbs and hypotonia in the trunk and neck led us to a developmental counseling center.
Our experience with what was called early intervention was exhausting and overwhelming. The process felt routine and lacked empathy from the professionals involved. Instead of support and explanations, we were often met with a lack of information. Every visit to the counseling center or specialist was difficult, and our frustration grew. This is when I truly understood the importance of having the right support and compassion — not just for the child but for the parents as well. These experiences motivated me to create a place where every parent and child receives the attention, respect, and support they deserve.
Lana Zrnić is a special educator–somatoped and a master in sensory-motor integration, with more than ten years of experience working with children who have developmental, sensory, and motor differences. In her work, she combines knowledge of motor development, sensory integration, and early development, providing a holistic approach to children who have challenges in sensory-motor processing, regulation, and learning.
She is a doctoral candidate at the Faculty of Special Education and Rehabilitation (FASPER), where she researches areas of early intervention, sensory-motor integration, and the child's overall development. Lana is also a licensed international handball referee, which gives her exceptional understanding of coordination, regulation, and body awareness. This is important experience that she successfully connects with her professional work.
She has worked in several educational and rehabilitation institutions, including kindergartens, schools, and specialized centers, where she provided sensory-motor integration assessments and treatments, programs for improving motor skills, regulation, and attention, as well as support to families in daily routines.
At Logolab, Lana leads complete sensory-motor integration assessments and conducts individual treatments aimed at regulation, motor planning, body organization, and better readiness of the child for learning, communication, and language. Her practice is gentle, clear, and always child-centered, focused on the child's sense of safety, regulation, and development through play.
