Our Mission
By Their Side's mission is to provide personal advocacy, supporting the needs and interests of Marylanders with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities now or when parents are no longer able to do so.
Our Beliefs
Services, activities, and supports provided should be guided by the preferences and dreams of the individual.
Everyone deserves the opportunity to live a rich and rewarding life, and that life enrichment opportunities can be identified.
The insight and wisdom of parents can be carried forward even after they are gone. Family insight and involvement is key to this process and individual success.
We believe in the potential of every individual, regardless of their abilities or disabilities, to lead a fulfilling life, contribute to their community, and thrive with the right support and opportunities.
