This article addresses how Part III of the 1993 Education Act (England) and differences in types of disabilities may affect the time required to complete student assessments and required statements of special educational needs (SEN). Differential needs of students with emotional and behavioral difficulties are noted, as are both the threats and opportunities posed by the new regulations. (DB)
