The Cambridge Commission for Persons with Disabilities’ (CCPD) main goal is to make Cambridge a more welcoming and accessible place for people with all types of disabilities. The Commission collaborates with other City departments to promote the full inclusion of people with disabilities into every aspect of community life.

CCPD staff offer technical assistance and disability awareness training for businesses, nonprofits, schools, and faith communities. Staff also strive to educate Cambridge's private sector about its obligations under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and related local, state, and federal laws.

We also serve as a resource for City of Cambridge staff on disability-related matters, including the employee reasonable accommodation process.

CCPD is part of the Department of Human Service Programs
