Jean Hutchins-Award Winner and Founder member of the BDA

Recognition for long-serving volunteer

Jean Hutchins is one of the most passionate believers of assistive technology to help children with dyslexia learn to read and write. Understanding the enormous potential of computers in the classroom and the home, Jean helped form the BDA Computer Committee in 1985 (British Dyslexia Association).

iansyst were proud to nominate Jean for her amazing achievements as a long term volunteer in helping people with dyslexia and were delighted when she received the Access-IT Use Awards for ‘an individual… that through their efforts, commitment and advocacy have advanced the availability of assistive technology to people with disabilities.’ We admire her commitment and have greatly valued her (often critical!) opinions over many years working on similiar objectives.
