Reforms introduced in the next session of Parliament will be part of the Children and Families Bill, expected to be introduced in early 2013.
Many of the proposals have been outlined by ministers previously.
They include plans to improve support for children with special educational needs and their families, which were set out in the Support and Aspiration Green Paper put out for consultation in March last year.
The Government is due to publish its formal response to the SEN Green Paper and a timetable for reform next week.
Twenty SEN pathfinders to trial the reforms were set up in September 2011 in 31 local authorities, and their work will inform any changes to the law made in the bill.
The interim evaluation will be published in the autumn, with a final evaluation in 2013.
