The Lexibar team is committed to valuing everyone's dysference. "J'aime mon DYS" was born from the desire to empower « dys » people, those living with dyscalculia, dyslexia, dysorthography, dyspraxia, dysgraphia or a developmental language disorder. This movement aims to support them, raise awareness in the community of their reality, break their isolation and highlight their intellectual wealth, which contributes to the diversity of our society.

The contest, which took place from May 1 to 30, 2025, was aimed at students in grades 3 to 6 of elementary school living with dyslexia, dysorthography, dyscalculia, dyspraxia, dysgraphia or a language development disorder.
They were invited to write a text on the theme "Be proud of your Dysference", sharing their experience and their pride in living with a learning disability.
We are pleased to announce that Mirka Delisle, a 6th grade student at Vanguard school (Montréal), is the big winner of the 2025 edition!
Her text stood out for its sensivity, its authenticity and its inspirational force.

Steve Bégin
Spokesperson for the JMD movement
Steve Bégin, former NHL center, was drafted by the Calgary Flames in the second round in 1996. He played 524 regular-season games for five teams, including the Montreal Canadiens. After missing the 2011-2012 season due to an injury, he made a comeback with the Flames, playing his 500th game in February 2013 and earning a nomination for the Bill Masterton Trophy for his dedication. Unfortunately, after a stint with Calgary's AHL affiliate in 2013-2014, another injury forced him to retire in January of that same season.
