• a Useful Links page listing websites related to developmental disability issues that readers report finding relevant.

"We are very excited to launch thenew magazine," said Denise Mercado, founder and president of Team Daniel Foundation. "We have put a lot of time and labor into our magazine with the goal of making it the premier information resource for anyone who works with or even knows someone with a developmental disability. With these improvements, no other publication even comes close."

Team Daniel Foundation was founded by Mercado and her husband, John, who spent more than 24 years caring for their own son, Danny, who himself had developmental disabilities. The Mercados are two of the leading advocates in the state for issues affecting the developmental disabilities community.
