Gerardo Moreno is Professor of Special Education at Northeastern Illinois University, Chicago and serves as the Director of the William Itkin Children’s Service Center.
Dr. Moreno’s research and teaching focus on the development, delivery, and evaluation of special education services for children and youth with disabilities, particularly individuals identified with specific learning disabilities and/or emotional behavioral disorders. Through this scope, he examines the development and implementation of psychometric and curriculum-based assessments, best practices in academic interventions (e.g., Response to Intervention), and programming/interventions for individuals with emotional/behavioral disorders, particularly the use of the Functional Behavioral Assessment (FBA) and Positive Behavior Supports (PBS). Additionally, his research examines the impact of past and current educational practices on the quality of services for individuals from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds and the development of cultural competency among pre-service and in-service educators.
Dr. Moreno completed his doctoral work in Special Education with a Focus on Emotional/Behavioral Disorders at the University of North Texas in Denton, Texas, under the guidance of Dr. Lyndal M. Bullock. Prior to entering the field of higher education, he worked as a school counselor and special education classroom teacher in Texas public schools for more than 10 years.
