Meet Meet Kristina & Logan

A mother and son sharing a special moment in the park, celebrating ablefamilies.

Meet Kristina Sarcione and her six‑and‑a‑half‑year‑old son, Logan, who lives in Meriden, Connecticut. Kristina is 34 years old and shares life with Logan, his dad Kenneth, and their three beloved pets—two dogs and a cat—who add even more love to their home. Together, they’re navigating everyday life as a family, learning and growing alongside one another.

Since introducing the QuickTalker Freestyle, Kristina says her family has gotten to know Logan in a deeper way. The device has helped them better understand his feelings, needs, and preferences, strengthening their connection and communication as a family. What once Needed a lot of guessing has turned into clearer moments of understanding.

Meaningful Moments That Matter

One recent QuickTalker Freestyle moment that meant everything to Kristina was when Logan used his device to say, “Happy Mother’s Day.” It was a simple message, but one filled with meaning—proof of how powerful it is to hear your child’s thoughts and feelings expressed in their own way. 

Family Connection

Kristina shares that while their family doesn’t have a specific quote or motto that guides them, their journey has been shaped by learning, connection, and love. Through the QuickTalker Freestyle, Logan has been able to share more of who he is, and Kristina is grateful for the growing understanding and closeness it has brought into their home.
