Jo Anne Simon
 Jo Anne Simon was elected to the NYS Assembly (52nd AD) in November 2014 and serves on its Consumer Affairs, Higher Education, Judiciary, Labor and Transportation committees. She is the sponsor of Assembly bill A.4330A (S.05439) which provides for (a) the use of the word “Dyslexia’ in
IEPS and 504 plans, (b) the early screening of young children for signs of dyslexia and (c) a
requirement that graduate education students be required to take 6 credits in methods of teaching
reading that must include research based effective methods of instruction. She welcomes your input
and activism in securing the passage of this bill.
A 1990 graduate of Fordham Law, Ms. Simon tried the landmark case of Bartlett v. New York
State Board of Law Examiners, and has represented individuals with disabilities in connection with
standardized testing and higher education for over 20 years. In July 2008, Ms. Simon testified before the U.S. Senate in support of the proposed amendments to the ADA. She was instrumental in the passage of California’s AB2122 and DFEH v. LSAC. The consent decree and subsequent Best Practices report in DFEH v. LSAC formed the basis of recent guidance issued by the US Dep’t of Justice for access to standardized exams. Ms. Simon has been an adjunct Associate Professor at Fordham University School of Law for many years. Before entering the law, Ms. Simon was a teacher of the deaf, a postsecondary disability services provider (Gallaudet University) and was a certified sign language interpreter for over 20 years. She holds a Master's degree in the Education of the Deaf from Gallaudet University and was a founding member of the Association on Higher Education And Disability (AHEAD), later serving as its general counsel. Ms. Simon served on the board of directors of Everyone Reading from 1998 through 2004, serving as its president for over five years before her election to the Assembly. |
