Laramie Martin, BS, SLPA
I graduated from Stephen F Austin State University with my bachelors in communication science disorders in 2018. I began working in a pediatric private practice shortly after graduating until beginning graduate school at Emerson College for speech pathology in 2021.
I was fortunate to have been placed at KidSpeak for one of my clinical placements for graduate school this last semester and upon completing my clinical placement, I have decided to stay and join the KidSpeak team as an SLPA! Working with children and being able to put the fun in functional has always been a passion of mine and KidSpeak is just the place for that. Learning from Amanda, Laura, and all the wonderful children and families at KidSpeak this past semester has been a truly amazing eye-opening experience!
I look forward to continuing to work with the children, families, and clinicians at KidSpeak and learning so much more!

Aiyana Salters, BS, SLPA
Hello! My name is Aiyana Salters and I am excited to return to the KidSpeak family this summer! Here is a little info about me. I am not originally from Texas, but I have lived here for over 10 years and I now call Texas my home. I enjoy taking long walks near the lake, singing and reading books. I have recently expanded my interests beyond self-help books to mystery and romance novels.
I received a Bachelor of Science in Speech Language Pathology at the University of North Texas in 2016. I also received a Master of Arts in Innovative Early Childhood Education at CU Denver in May of 2024.
I believe that children are capable and competent humans who have always proven to be the best teachers. I know there is a wealth of things we can all learn from children. I enjoy guiding their learning and inspiring them to be confident and flexible learners. I am thrilled to support children and their families at KidSpeak!
