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.

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.

Steve's interventions throughout the year

Steve Bégin, spokesperson for the awareness campaign, speaks every fall to spread the message through various media outlets. He also leads conferences, testimonials, and school events organized by "J'aime mon DYS," offering his support and expertise.

Take a break and offer an awareness session in your class!

Education professionals are invited to raise awareness among students about the various learning disorders encountered by those integrated into regular classrooms. The goal is to help them understand why some of these students use assistive technology tools.

Learning objectives

  • Raise awareness among students about the different learning disorders that students integrated into regular classrooms face, to better understand the reasons why some of them use assistive technology tools.
  • Reduce the feeling of injustice regarding the use of assistive tools by some students compared to others.
  • Be more tolerant towards differences.
