In October 2017, the Canadian Centre on Disability Studies completed a multi-year evaluation of the Special Needs (SNP) and Moving On (MO) Projects in collaboration with the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW). With recognition of the demands of work and parenting, the SNP and MO projects provide resources and support for workers at the post office whose children have disabilities. Project supports are available to members of the CUPW and the Union of Postal Communications Employees-Public Service Alliance of Canada (UPCE-PSAC). Evaluation results indicated that the SNP and MO projects are providing needed supports for working parents of children with disabilities. However, due to the broad systemic challenges facing working parents of children with disabilities, members continue to experience need for greater financial, child care, therapeutic and other supports for their child (ren).
