Game on For Autism Research Foundation

Game on For Autism Research Foundation (GoFAR) is a Boston-based non-profit organization dedicated to funding and advancing evidence-based technologies for individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Founded in 2018 by Jamie Menhall under the guidance of Dr. Leslie Fang, the foundation supports clinical research into innovative tools such as augmented reality smartglasses and instructional games designed to improve social communication and executive function. GoFAR collaborates with leading institutions like Massachusetts General Hospital and Boston Children's Hospital to validate transformative technologies that empower the autism community. The foundation also operates a Family Assistance Program to provide families in need with access to neuro-assistive devices like the Empowered Brain system. Through its partnerships, GoFAR aims to bridge the gap between scientific discovery and practical, life-changing applications for those affected by autism.
