Calvary recognizes the need in our communities for self-help groups. F.A.C.T.S. Started by Rose Ellen Urdahl, the support group, Families/Friends of Autistic Citizens Together in Suffolk, meets twice monthly, on a Saturday at 5:30pm. F.A.C.T.S. offers both support and resources. Often F.A.C.T.S. will have a movie pertinent to autism issues or a guest speaker. Previous speakers include Dr. Soares from Stony Brook University Hospital and Melissa Andretta, BCBA, a behavioral analyst. Supervised parties are held on holidays. Babysitting is always offered and is free of charge. Membership is free as well. For more info, see their website: www.geocities.com/autfacts or http://www.factsli.org/
