Does anyone know anything about dyspraxia?!

Does anyone know anything about dyspraxia?

I have a sixteen year old step-sister with Dyspraxia. From what I can tell, it's a motor skills/learning disability. She walks down the stairs one step at a time and she can't read. However, she also throws these tantrums where she screams and throws stuff. To me, they look like two year old tantrums and I'm not sure they're related to the dyspraxia. Can anyone tell me if I'm wrong because I think it's pure attention seeking.

Most people with this disorder are developmentally delayed to some extent. I remember a young lady in my high school home economics class that suffered from this disorder, she was mildly intellectually delayed, she tended to overreact when the other pupils teased her a little bit. I think it`s part of the disorder. There is a pupil in my son`s grade 1 class that has this disorder and he has some emotional problems, so I think you need to just sit back and just look at it as lack of emotional control, ( she just lets her feelings over power her), she may needs some psychiatric care sometime soon, especially since she is well into her teens.I think she not developed enough mentally to understand what she looks like to others when she has her tantrums.


P.s the individual above me ^^^^ has the right idea, and the site that is mention does have some great info!!!!
