COLUMN COORDINATOR: DOREEN KRONICK RECOLLECTIONS Dale Brown I was a learning-disabled child. My perceptual problems involved all of my senses. I saw double until second grade, when I had sur- gery. After the operation, my eyes still did not work well as a team, causing figure-ground and depth perception problems. My eyes tracked improperly, and it took me a long time to learn to discriminate visually and focus. I had problems in auditory sequencing, memory, discrimination, and processing. My sense of touch was also poor. I had apraxia, meaning that my brain had trouble telling my body what to do. I was hyperactive—could not tell where my body was in space—and had no internal sense of direction.
