"Shrill" is a sexist slur used against women. Why is it not listed as derogatory in your online dictionary @OED?
Remember it well.... and still do a LOT, unpaid, now they have grown up and moved into care.

Just for curiosity - if you made mud pies as a child (UK) what did you call it? I grew up in the Surrey and called it 'making mud Pies' my partner (Yorkshire) calls it playing 'slap-dash'.

It's our birthday! 🥳
On this day in 1969, The Royal Charter's creation was approved by Her Majesty The Queen.
We'd like to say a huge thank you to the more than two million #OUFamily members who have studied with us in the past 53 years.
Now, where's that cake...
My son loves a half occasionally too. No need for any debate or judgement....

How about advocating for equity, inclusion, and justice for those who use other modalities? #CommunicationIsAHumanRight #SLP SLT #SLPeeps
Bad news signed on for first time in months and sickened again by the treatment of people with LD; the good news is I passed my MAEd (Applied Linguistics) @OU with merit. Tomorrow I give the second of two training sessions to daughter's care staff. Tiny steps to influence change
#askingautistics does anyone in the UK know of any social skills training for autistic adults without LD? Particularly in North Yorkshire? TIA
Please take the survey titled "Non/minimally verbal ASD and/or LD Literacy Practices questionnaire". surveymonkey.co.uk/r/DSJGH27
