Lisa with Frances Cook, Jane Fraser, and Willie Botterill, working on "8 Tips for Teachers with Students Who Stutter"; Lisa with Dr. Alan Rabinowitz.
Beyond her work at Florida State University, Lisa served as Vice President for Professional Practices for the Stuttering Foundation of America, as a consultant for Florida’s Agency for Healthcare Administration’s Bureau of Medicaid Services and as a HIPAA privacy expert for other universities across the United States. She volunteered as an accreditation site visitor for the Council on Academic Accreditation, American Speech Language Hearing Association, as Past-President of the Council of Academic Programs in Communication Sciences and Disorders, and for the American Cancer Society’s Reach to Recovery program.
She was named Fellow of the American Speech Language Hearing Association in 2014, and received the Stuttering Foundation of America’s inaugural “Dr. Alan Rabinowitz Award for Clinical Education” in 2018. Most recently, she received “Honors of the Council” from the Council of Academic Programs in Communication Sciences and Disorders in April of 2019.
Dr. Scott played a major role in the advancement of the Stuttering Foundation. “Lisa’s remarkable career has touched hundreds of thousands of lives. Students all over the world are trained using her masterpiece, Basic Clinical Skills. Another of her works of art is the workbook for school-age children. Although her name is listed as editor, she was the driving force behind its coming to fruition,” said Stuttering Foundation President Jane Fraser. Dr. Scott also produced and was featured in a number of other Stuttering Foundation videos, as well as organizing international workshops and overseeing the Foundation’s continuing education materials for speech-language pathologists.
Personally, Lisa never met a dog she didn’t want to kiss or a vanilla-frosted-with-sprinkles cake donut she didn’t want to eat. She was obsessed – for real – with Diet Coke (preferably from Whataburger on Thomasville Rd.), dachshunds and her granddaughter, Mousie. She was the keeper of any and all random tidbits of information. U.S. Presidents? The Royal Family? The Iditarod? She’s your girl. Need to dish on the latest episode of “90 Day Fiancé”? Text Lisa – she watched it already. She would remember everything you told her about your life, even if she hadn’t seen or talked to you in years. Lisa was compassionate, giving, kind, empathetic and all those things we all aspire to be daily. She had the perfect card for any situation and always remembered to send it to you. She was beyond hilarious and relatable in a way that not many humans are. Lisa had more best friends than many people have in their lifetime, probably because she hogged them all.
Most importantly, Lisa was a warrior. The first in her family to go to college, she was 32 before she moved more than 5 miles away from the hospital she was born in, and she did it as a single parent and on a mission with her career. She moved halfway across the country to follow her dream – away from her family, her friends and the comfort of the Midwest. She loved fiercely – her husband Ned was her most cherished friend and partner. She was the best mother, daughter, wife, sister, friend, colleague and storyteller any of us have ever met. She has left a legacy in her field that will live on beyond her lifetime.
