Hi, I'm Dr. Jill Walker — and I'm so glad you're here.
If you've found your way to this page, chances are you have questions about your child — and you're looking for someone who will truly listen, look carefully, and help you understand what's going on. That's exactly what I'm here for.
I'm a pediatric neuropsychologist, which means I specialize in understanding how children's brains learn, process information, and develop — and what happens when that process looks a little different. Whether your child is struggling in school, recently had a concussion, has been told they might have ADHD or a learning disability, or you're just not sure what's going on, I'm here to help you find answers.
I completed my doctoral training in Clinical Child Psychology at the University of Alabama — one of the nation's leading APA-accredited programs — and then pursued specialized fellowship training in Pediatric Neuropsychology at Columbia University Medical Center and New York-Presbyterian Hospital, one of the world's foremost academic medical centers. There, I worked with children and adolescents facing significant academic and developmental challenges, conducting comprehensive evaluations and coordinating with schools and educational advocates to turn findings into real, meaningful support.
Since 2016, I've served as a Neuropsychologist at the Stamford Hospital Concussion Center, where I've evaluated and guided the care of children, adolescents, and adults recovering from concussions and traumatic brain injuries. I am a Credentialed ImPACT Consultant, reflecting specialized expertise in concussion assessment and return-to-school and return-to-sport decision-making.
Now I'm bringing my Columbia-trained expertise, my Stamford Hospital experience, and my deep commitment to children's well-being to my own practice — right here in Fairfield County.
"I truly love this work. And I would be honored to be part of your family's journey." — Dr. Jill Walker, Ph.D.Schedule a Free Consultation
At Precision Neuropsychology, we offer thorough, evidence-based neuropsychological evaluations designed specifically for children and adolescents. Every evaluation is customized to your child's unique referral questions. We take the time to get it right.
Our flagship service — a thorough assessment of your child's cognitive, academic, behavioral, and emotional functioning. We evaluate attention, memory, language, executive function, processing speed, and more, integrating findings into a detailed report with individualized, practical recommendations.
👨👩👧 For: Children & adolescents with concerns about learning, attention, memory, behavior, or overall cognitive development.
Comprehensive baseline and post-injury evaluations to guide safe return to school, activities, and sports. As a Credentialed ImPACT Consultant, Dr. Walker brings specialized expertise in the neurocognitive effects of concussion.
👨👩👧 For: Student-athletes, children after accidents, or any child whose performance changed following a head injury.
A careful, multi-faceted evaluation of attention, executive functioning, and behavioral regulation — using cognitive testing, behavioral rating scales from parents and teachers, and a comprehensive clinical interview. We distinguish ADHD from learning disabilities, anxiety, and other conditions that look alike.
👨👩👧 For: Children struggling with focus, impulsivity, organization, homework, or behavior at school or home.
A thorough assessment of reading, writing, mathematics, and language skills alongside cognitive processing measures — providing diagnostic clarity for dyslexia, dyscalculia, dysgraphia, and other learning disorders. Reports are designed to support IEP and 504 planning.
👨👩👧 For: Bright children who are struggling academically, underperforming, or flagged by their school.
A comprehensive evaluation exploring social communication, cognitive and adaptive functioning, sensory sensitivities, and behavioral patterns. Dr. Walker works closely with families and referring providers to provide diagnostic clarity and connect families with appropriate support services.
👨👩👧 For: Children with concerns about social development, communication, repetitive behaviors, or sensory differences.
Consultation for families navigating the special education system, including attendance at IEP meetings, review of existing evaluations, and written letters in support of school accommodations. You don't have to navigate the system alone.
👨👩👧 For: Families in the evaluation or IEP process who want an expert advocate and guide.
We know that seeking an evaluation can feel overwhelming. Our process is designed to be clear, collaborative, and as comfortable as possible for your child and family every step of the way.
We begin with a free phone consultation to hear about your concerns and answer your questions — so you can decide if we're the right fit before committing.
You'll complete intake forms covering developmental and medical history, school information, and a description of your concerns — giving Dr. Walker essential background before your first appointment.
Dr. Walker meets with parents for a comprehensive clinical interview, learning about your child's full history from pregnancy through current school and social functioning.
Your child meets with Dr. Walker for interactive tasks — answering questions, solving puzzles, completing activities — in a warm, encouraging environment. Frequent breaks are built in. Your child's comfort always guides the pace.
Dr. Walker carefully analyzes all data — test results, parent and teacher ratings, behavioral observations, and history — to create a comprehensive written report, typically delivered within 4–6 weeks.
We meet to walk through findings in plain language, explain what results mean for your child, and review every recommendation together. You'll leave with a clear plan for moving forward.
Dr. Walker trained at Columbia University Medical Center — one of the world's foremost academic medical institutions — and brings that level of expertise directly to families in Fairfield County.
