Summary Wheras the 1981 Education Act led to emphasis on written statements of special educational needs for 2% of pupils, the 1993 Act seeks to recruit help for all children with such needs at earlier stages in the teaching process. Such help includes that available from the health services. The organization of health services has gone through considerable change since the 1993 Act was drafted so special efforts will be required to implement the intentions of the Act.
