From the outset, I witnessed firsthand the expertise, knowledge and commitment of EBA personnel. They provided guidance in working with my staff and me in selecting the most appropriate evidence-based intervention. They kept open clear lines of communication with us throughout the entire process, from assisting in the proposal development, vetting and selecting the most qualified provider, handling all training and technical assistance requirements of the selected program, establishing clearly defined referral criteria, and handling all of the client and fiscal reporting requirements. Remarkably, all of this was accomplished within a truncated period of time, allowing us to meet the goal of beginning services to youth and their families by October 1, 2013.
