Mary Ann Scott, Ph.D., ABPdN
Professor and Pediatric Neuropsychologist

Dr. Mary Ann Scott, Ph.D, ABPdN, is a Fellow of the Academy of Pediatric Neuropsychology and Professor in the Department of Pediatrics at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences. I have a background in clinical neuropsychology with a pediatric focus, and I am a predominantly clinical neuropsychologist who obtained my Doctorate in neuropsychology from Oklahoma State University and further pursued my interest in the Field at the Oklahoma Health Sciences Center. I trained in Houston in 1993 at the University of Texas Health Sciences Center, before the adoption of the Houston guidelines under the guidance of Jack Fletcher, a well-known Pediatric Neuropsychologist who cultivated my interest in spina Bifida. I served as a Program Director and Section Chief for 25 years in the Department of Pediatrics at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences. I have over 30 years of experience in training at the graduate and fellowship level and in the provision of clinical care to diverse populations in an academic medical setting. My recent research includes clinical trials, the publication of guidelines for referral to pediatric neuropsychology, and the multidisciplinary application of pharmacogenomics. I remain passionate about providing comprehensive evaluations for complex children and now divide my time between clinical work, education, academics, and clinical research. I serve as the neuropsychologist on a multidisciplinary team for spinal disorders.
