For over 44 years, Cape Abilities has provided supports for people with disabilities on Cape Cod. Cape Abilities was founded as Nauset Workshop in 1968.

Since then, we have grown to serve all of Cape Cod, from Bourne to Provincetown. Our services have expanded to include jobs, housing, transportation and day habilitation

We have also launched several entrepreneurial businesses, including Cape Abilities Farm, which employs people with disabilities and grows award-winning produce.

Although we have grown significantly, our mission has never changed. We are proud that through our services, people with disabilities have been empowered to live meaningful and active lives in their own towns across Cape Cod.

This website is designed to help you learn about our programs and services. If you need additional information, please call us 508-778-5040 or email at news@CapeAbilities.org
