Stoles

A type of clothing that is worn by different academic organizations to signify a certain academic excellence and achievement is known as an academic stole. To wear stoles, one may be graduating from an institution and this may accessorize academic regalia or be given to a student who has achieved a valedictorian award. Members of a professional organization can also be seen wearing these

Stoles

and in most cases, the organization is a university, college or high school where the faculty members wear them particularly during graduation ceremonies. The academic stole can be made of silk, which is the most common material for the vestment and it has a length of seven feet to nine feet and a width of 3 to 4 inches with the ends straight or broaden out. When worn, the stoles have to be hang over the shoulder at the back of the neck and the two ends hang in-front of the graduation gown parallel to each other attached or hanging loosely. The colors are often diverse and the writings on each end may be different like the year of graduation or the class that is graduating. The ends may also have Greek symbols on them.

Some parents have the shock of hearing their young child start stammering as a toddler. I am somebody who runs a speech centre in Birmingham, England, I now help people to achieve fluency.

I met a lady who was thirty and her little boy aged four had been stammering for quite a while. She had taken him to speech therapy and was extremely anxious as to why he was stammering. It had possibly started because the toddlers father had quite a severe stammer, the boy may of picked up the bad habits this way.

Many other people contact me asking why their toddler has developed a stammer and asking what forms of stammering treatments are available.

I always suggest that they keep as patient as they can and try to play games, speech games with their child. They can challenge the child to say the word fluently, they show their child how it should be said and then bet them that they can’t do it themselves. When they do manage to say that particular word fluently they then heap lots of praise onto the child, telling them how clever they are and how proud mommy and daddy are of them. I even advise giving them an award like a small chocolate bar.

If instead of being patient parents or relatives are aggressive, saying things like: “Get your words boy” “Spit it out!” These types of comments can have a very negative effect and make that child withdraw into their shell. This may to some people seem very obvious to say, however you would not believe the amount of people who have told me this is what they were told as an infant.
