Introduction
Welcome to Effective College Planning 9th Ed! For more than 20 years the members of the WNY Collegiate Consortium of Disability Advocates (CCDA) have been working with families and education professionals to assist students with disabilities make a successful transition from high school to college. Effective College Planning or ECP is the primary resource that we have developed to help students, parents and professionals. ECP is a resource guide that provides technical assistance, timelines and activities related to the transition process.
While ECP has been around for a long time and has been very well received both locally and nationally, we have long felt that something was missing. What is unique about ECP 9th ed. is that there will be several versions each addressed to target audiences: school counselors, special education/transition personnel and families. While the general content of each is the same, the directions for use and implementation are audience specific. Why? Because transition is a team effort and each of the stakeholders needs to understand.
