Registration

Join RCPA for an afternoon of golf on Tuesday, June 2, 2026. The event will be held in support of the RCPA PAC and take place at the Colonial Golf & Tennis Club in Harrisburg, PA. Lunch and registration will be at 11:30 am, with a shotgun start at 1:00 pm. Register to attend today!

We hope you will consider becoming a sponsor in support of this fundraiser! Sponsorship will allow your company to receive name recognition, and we’re excited to have even more opportunities to showcase your company this year. We hope we can count on your support for this event.

Not a golfer but would still like to support the RCPA PAC? For your convenience, you can now make a personal online contribution, which will provide financial support to state legislators or representatives who have demonstrated a strong, consistent, and positive interest in our legislative priorities. If you are interested in learning more about the RCPA PAC or donating, please visit our website or email Jack Phillips, Director of Government Affairs.

See you on the golf course! If you have any questions regarding registration or sponsorship, please contact Christine Tartaglione.

This is a reminder that RCPA will be holding our annual Capitol Day this year on Wednesday, March 25. Join us as we hold a press conference in the Main Rotunda between 10:00 am – 11:00 am, which will include legislators and leaders in human services.

You can register for our Capitol Day press conference by contacting Christine Tartaglione. We invite you to bring individuals and the families you support, additional staff, and colleagues to this advocacy event, and ask that you let us know if these individuals are planning to attend.

RCPA requests that members schedule appointments with their Senate and House legislators directly to discuss the state budget, legislation, and regulations either prior to or immediately after our press conference. For providers of IDD services, we are aware that PAR is also having a day of legislative meetings (non-Press Event) at the Capitol on the same day. If you are a member of both associations, please join our Press Conference as you attend other meetings with both associations. We will continue to coordinate with PAR to ensure that the events are seamless.

We highly encourage everyone who is attending to utilize RCPA’s 2026 legislative priorities during your legislative visits. As an additional resource, members can visit the Pennsylvania Capitol website to locate parking and view maps of the building, and you may use the following resources for coordinating your day at the Capitol:

If you have questions regarding our 2026 Capitol Day, including questions or concerns with scheduling an appointment with a legislator, please contact Jack Phillips, Director of Government Affairs. We look forward to seeing you at the Capitol!

Topic — Best Practices in Behavioral Assessment and Treatment
Updates are in Red

Regardless of our role, we should all continuously strive to implement best practices when supporting someone who may have behaviors that are challenging or not yet understood. This training will focus on ways that, within your role, you can ensure that the behavioral support you are providing is sound, appropriate, and implemented with fidelity and integrity. ODP will offer two tracks held across different days and times that focus on the role you play in this process.

Please choose 1 date for the appropriate track that best represents your role. There is no cost to attend the training, but pre-registration is required.

Note: Both tracks will provide best practice information grounded in peer-reviewed and evidence-based research and will not address ODP program-specific service definitions, procedures, or guidelines.

Track 1 is for any Behavioral Specialist (and their supervisors) who completes behavioral assessments, develops behavioral plans, and trains others on the implementation of the plan. This session will discuss best practices to conduct better assessments and develop better behavioral support plans while acknowledging barriers and pitfalls to these processes.

Virtual Session on Microsoft Teams. Please attend only 1 session. All sessions will cover the same material.

  • April 9, 2026, 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm

  • April 16, 2026, 9:00 am – 11:00 am
  • April 20, 2026, 12:00 pm – 2:00 pm

Track 2 is for any professional (and their supervisors), including Supports Coordinators (SC), who implements behavioral plans and who work directly with individuals. This session will present an introduction to the essential components of effective behavioral assessment and treatment with an emphasis on best practices to support the implementation of a Behavioral Support Plan.
