st: St : Regression discontinuity with Dichotomous dependent variable

Hello;
I am working on evaluating a treatment effect. The treatment assignment is based on a regression model that assigns a continuous score. Subjects that have a score greater than the cutoff are treated while those below are not treated. So it fits the RD design framework.
However, the dependent variable is not a continuous response but rather a dichotomous variable; did the subject perform a certain action. I am using Austin Nichol's excellent RD package. However, the package assumes that the dependent variable is continuous and uses a polynomial to fit a local regression.
Is there a way to extend RD to include dichotomous dependent variables?
Thanks
Ayman
