The Stuttering Foundation Remembers a True Friend LISA A. SCOTT, PH.D., CCC-SLP
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of longtime Stuttering Foundation friend Lisa A. Scott, Ph.D., CCC-SLP. Lisa died peacefully in her home on Tuesday, December 24, 2019 after a long and brave battle with breast cancer. Born on January 28, 1965, in Lincoln, NE, she was the daughter of Edward (Connie) Harman and Linda (Larry) Frahm.
Professionally, Lisa was a decorated academic, serving the profession of Speech-Language Pathology faithfully for over 25 years. She knew from a young age she wanted to be an SLP and was committed to making a difference in her profession. Lisa graduated with her Bachelors, Masters and Ph.D. from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Employed by Florida State University since January of 2002, she most recently served as the Director of Clinical Education and as a Research Associate in the School of Communication Science and Disorders. She taught courses in stuttering, counseling and professional issues. A renowned professor at FSU, Lisa was the recipient of many teaching awards. She received the Undergraduate Research Mentor of the Year Award (2007), Excellence in Undergraduate Teaching Award (2007), Distinguished Faculty Award (2011), Excellence in Graduate Teaching Award (2012) and most recently received Florida State’s highest teaching recognition, the Distinguished Teacher Award in 2016. In addition to teaching, Lisa maintained an active clinical practice, serving clients who stuttered of all ages but with a special focus on young adults.
During her time at FSU, Lisa taught hundreds of students and most will tell you that she left a lasting impact on their life beyond the classroom. She was the professor you could count on – the one who was real about her experiences professionally and personally. She made you laugh, made you cry, and made the material she was teaching relatable, understandable and fun. She took care of her students – academically, emotionally, and sometimes even physically. She would host students in her home over holiday breaks, allow you to sit in her office and cry or laugh, and provided the perfect guidance in the most tumultuous of times. If you knew her, she was “that person” in your life.
