STEM. According to the Cambridge Dictionary, the word Stem is defined as: a central part of something from which other parts can develop or grow, or which forms a support.

Lovely, isn’t it? I adore the word. The definition is so apropos for life—family, work, community, friends, innovation—it’s endless, really. It was the word STEM, that first caught my eye displayed above a stylish array of bangles, bracelets, cuffs, and earrings—rich with texture and color—all good vibes that I couldn’t resist on a random afternoon.

I stood at the mix of jewelry for sale before me for quite some time. Falling in love with the on-point, edgy, fashion-forward, yet affordable wrist and ear-candy designs. I noticed a blend of vibrant materials that creatively juxtaposed metal and stone. All original yet similar looks and elements popping up on social media, in-store, and mags that I follow and consider to be “leading-trend.”

A cause founders, Stephanie Langkow and Emily Horak, have woven deep into their jewelry business model over the past two years. What once began as the creation of a single bracelet to help a friend, turned into a passion to assist those with autism in our Valley and communities across North America. Stephanie and Emily make beaded items like this to help raise funds and awareness for autism. The bracelets retail for $35 and the founders donate fifty-percent of each designated autism awareness piece to organizations such as Seeds For Autism and others. And, they are making big strides. Come Autism Awareness Month in April, Stephanie and Emily will debut a new bracelet for their Autism Awareness line to help support their cause. Bold colors, solid quality, and a new design will add to their charity collection. Look for the new piece on my Insta @zenobia.mertel and STEM DESIGNS @shopstemdesigns

  • Special Education: Addressing Asperger’s Autism

    1301 Words  | 3 Pages

    Special education is evolving, evolving in form and substance. Education of the special needs population in the United States lacks uniformity of purpose and deed. In many school districts within the United States, special education creates a financial burden that subjugates the traditional programs (Higbee, Katz, & Shultz, 2010). The lack of consistency to approach and positive results has created academic chaos for methods and strategies in working with the special needs population. The difficulty in educating special needs children to develop their academic and social skills has created many strategies for supposed benefit, and in fairness, some work for some children. Too many instances exist where not all children benefit (p. 8). The problem is developing a strategy and curriculum that provides for the needs of all children whether they are involved in an inclusive, mainstreaming, or self-contained classroom. This is particularly significant with a particular segment of the special needs population, Asperger’s autism. Asperger’s autism is a controversial diagnosis, a diagnosis that creates a schism of psychiatric thought. Some psychiatrists classify this as a pervasive developmental disorder, while other psychiatrists see this as a form of personality disorder that has many traits associated with schizophrenia (Odom, Buysee, & Soukakou, 2011). The Asperger’s child lacks emotional development normally associated with their age group. An example that illustrates the emotional development issue concerns age appropriate demonstrations of concern or awareness in their environment. Many of the Asperger’s children are not able to tell whether someone is making fun of them and will join in making fun of themselves as unsuspecting ...

    Jewelry purchases are highly discretionary because they are heavily affected by adverse trends in the general economy and are measured by disposable consumer income. The first half of fiscal 2003 can be described as a lackluster economy, lower consumer confidence and an unstable geopolitical environment. However, general economic conditions and consumer confidence improved in the second half of fiscal 2003, resulting in increased sales. Since the economy has taken some major strides towards recovery, the jewelry industry represents a bullish market. Large and small retailers are evaluating expansion opportunities outside of the traditional regional mall venue.

So, in the above table, the rows share a common root, and the columns, a common affix. Morphologically complex forms like those in the final set in the preceding section have more than one root morpheme. Such forms are termed compounds.
