CapeAble Sensory Products

Weighted products have traditionally been made by hand, and sewn weighted products didn’t fit standard manufacturing techniques. CapeAble was forced to modify its product designs, re-engineer the manufacturing process, obtain an SBA-backed loan, and become its own manufacturer. Not only are CapeAble’s designs patent-pending; the machine that facilitates manufacturing them is, too. 

Volunteer mentor Bill Causey met with Pacheco and Hickok in CapeAble’s early days. “He worked with us through a significant shift in our business model and he helped us revise our business plan to communicate this change to the bank,” Pacheco and Hickok say.
