Cambridge Commission for Persons with Disabilities CCPD promotes equal opportunity for and the full inclusion of persons with disabilities

CCPD promotes equal opportunity for and the full inclusion of persons with disabilities (PWD) in all aspects of Cambridge life. For more than 35 years, the Commission has been working to eliminate barriers, whether physical, attitudinal, communicative, programmatic, or of another nature, while implementing initiatives to increase cross-disability awareness and help the community see how inclusion

benefits everybody. Indeed, the disability community includes a wealth of resources that are too often left untapped!
