CCSN was given the task of advising the Committee of Presidents on 19 of the 21 recommendations outlined by the Task Force. To achieve this, committee members were expected to identify, research and make appropriate recommendations on system-wide issues and related matters affecting students with special needs.

Approximately ten years after its establishment, the College Committee on Special Needs became the College Committee on Disability Issues (CCDI). Direct accountability to the College Presidents has reverted to a reporting relationship through the Committee structure of the Association of Colleges of Applied Arts and Technology (ACAATO). (This relationship is depicted in Section 2).
