Breaking through barriers for workers
who have children with special needs

Welcome to Special Needs and Moving On Projects!

The Special Needs and Moving On Projects provide resources and support for workers at the post office whose children have disabilities. The projects are available to members of the Canadian Union of Postal Workers and the Union of Postal Communications Employees (Public Service Alliance of Canada). The Special Needs Project is geared to families with young children; the Moving On Project is for adult sons and daughters with special needs. Life is more demanding when you work and have a child with special needs. Learn more about our Special Needs and Moving On projects.

confirms eligibility for services and supports
determines service and support needs
links people to services and supports, and
will administer direct funding agreements in the future.
