Mullica Hill Fourth Grader Delivers Schoolwide Message Using AAC

New Jersey guidance sets out a responsibility for schools when assistive technology is needed: if a student’s IEP team determines it is necessary, the district or charter school must provide the devices or services at no cost to parents, and must supply items specified in the IEP as soon as possible, according to the New Jersey Department of Education. That policy provides context for communication supports in schools, but the report about Anthony Knauer does not say whether his device is specified in an IEP or how it was funded.

Philadelphia Jails Replace Monthly Addiction Shots With Daily Suboxone Pills

Philadelphia’s jails have ended a monthly buprenorphine injection program and returned to daily Suboxone pills for people receiving medication for opioid use disorder. Jail officials told The Philadelphia Inquirer that one in three of the 719 people prescribed the medication since the switch had been caught misusing it.

5100 Lancaster Ave. — Approximate Site of Proposed 45-Unit Building. A proposal to build 420 apartments across three Lancaster Avenue properties in West Philadelphia's Cathedral Park area has stalled at the Zoning Board of Adjustment, which ruled against the developer following a contentious hearing on Oct. 21. The plan from Haverford Square Properties called for 42 affordable units, but it also asked for a building six feet taller than current zoning allows, a sticking point that proved decisive before the board.

Santa better whip out his wallet in Philly

Santa Claus is coming to town, and he better bring a big, fat wallet because Philadelphians are spending less on holiday gifts than in years past. Why it matters: Making kids and adults happy this time of year isn't cheap. Driving the news: Philadelphia shoppers are projected to spend $1,484 this year, down from $1,777 in 2024, per Deloitte's holiday retail survey . That's less than the national spending average ($1,654), which is increasingly being driven by millennial and Gen Z shoppers. 77% of those surveyed are expecting higher prices. The big picture: Philly shoppers are buying holiday gifts earlier in the year , with 23% of those surveyed saying they'll have already blown through their holiday budgets by October. Black Friday is still expected to be the city's biggest spending day, with many shoppers preferring to hunt for deals in person rather than online. How it works: Deloitte surveyed 413 Philadelphians between late August and mid-September, with a margin of error of ±5 percentage points. The intrigue: Despite scaling back spending, 46% of Philadelphians expect the economy to remain the same or improve in the next year, up from 41% in 2025. Zoom in: More Philadelphians are spending on
