More than four years ago, Karrie Walters saw a need to make diagnostic services more accessible in Eugene. She decided to address the problem herself by launching a comprehensive diagnostic clinical service in 2019 to assess a range of learning, attention and developmental disorders.
Walters directs the Comprehensive Diagnostic Assessment Clinic, one of the clinical service lines offered within the HEDCO Clinic at the UO’s College of Education. The center evaluates for attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder and learning disabilities including dyslexia, dyscalculia and dysgraphia. Services are available to children age 7 or older, adolescents, college students and adults.
