If you are a parent or sibling, estate and trust advisor or a concerned friend to someone in Maryland who has a developmental disability, we can help. By Their Side is a non-profit organization that works with families of Marylanders with developmental disabilities to make sure their wishes are carried out and their loved one continues to receive excellent care. By Their Side (formerly known as MTRC) has been serving clients throughout Maryland since 1965.
from the beginning
Learning that your child has a developmental disability is heartbreaking and scary. As a parent you're overwhelmed and most don't know where to turn for help. State agencies provide paperwork but little personal guidance. We can ease your mind and help you navigate the system.
planning ahead
As an independent agency, we can provide family members with objective information and are free to advocate for the best interests of the individual with disabilities. We also work in conjunction with estate attorneys and other professionals to supplement the role they play for your family.
when the time comes
We can't replace you or the special bond you share with your son or daughter. However, you can rest assured that in your absence we will do as we've promised. We will be by their side, every step of the way.
