About Us

My name is Kari Cherry, BCBA, and I am the founder of Open Roads Therapy. I have been working in the field of Applied Behavior Analysis since 2017 and became a Board Certified Behavior Analyst in 2022.

Throughout my career, I have provided services in homes, schools, community settings, daycares, group homes, outpatient clinics, and Prescribed Pediatric Extended Care (PPEC) centers, supporting individuals with a wide range of diagnoses and needs.

I believe every child deserves the opportunity to communicate, grow, and discover their own path. My goal is to provide compassionate, individualized ABA services while supporting families with the tools and resources they need along the way.
