Profile

Dr. Incorvaia came to Reiss-Davis for the two-year post-graduate fellowship program, thinking he would return home to Cleveland afterward, but was  then given an offer he couldn't refuse to join Reiss-Davis. During his tenure he was a clinician, taught, headed the PEDS Program, and finally become Director for the program. He helped shepherd Reiss-Davis through joining the Vista Del Mar Family of Services, the integration of the Graduate School into its education program, the creation of the Reiss-Greenberg Chair, the formulation of the Saturday at the Center Continuing Education lecture series, the transformation of the Graduate School into a one-weekend a month program. 
​
His work promoted the clinical, educational and research excellence to which the Reiss-Davis Child Study Center aspires.
