NBC4 Washington reporter Chris Gordon (and videographer Lance Ing) helped us share our experience having Max attend the Bender JCC preschool via telepresence robot.

One of our favorite parts of the story:
Asked what he wants to be when he grows up, Max surprised his mother when he replied he wants to be a teacher like she is.
“A teacher?” his mother reacted. “You want to be a teacher? I didn’t know that. Wow."
“I’m glad he has these teachers as role models,” Jonathan Lasko said. “He's looking ahead and imagining himself in the role of teacher, and just like any of us, he's not going to let his different abilities get in the way of doing what he is passionate about.”
