Abstract: Purpose: The current preliminary study examined the effects of a computerbased training program designed to improve the accuracy of bilingual speechlanguage pathology clinicians in identifying dialect-specific phonetic features and distinguishing dialectal differences from speech sound disorders across various Spanish dialects. Method: A single-case multiple-baseline design across six bilingual Spanish- English graduate students was employed. The training intervention utilized the Teach-Model-Coach-Review instructional framework across two modules focused on dialectal feature identification and accurate classification of dialectal differences versus disorders. Data were graphed and analyzed for the presence of a functional relation between variables. Participants also provided qualitative feedback on the program's feasibility, usability, and relevance for clinical practice. Results: All participants showed significant improvement from baseline to intervention in accurately identifying dialectal phonetic features (Tau-U = 1.00, p < .01) and differentiating dialectal differences from disorders (Tau-U = 1.00, p < .05). These improvements were maintained over the maintenance period. Qualitative analyses indicated that participants felt increased comfort, confidence, and clinical preparedness after training. Conclusion: Findings support the efficacy of structured, computer-based dialectal training to enhance critical diagnostic skills among bilingual Spanish- English speech-language pathology clinicians by enhancing assessment accuracy and reducing the risk of misdiagnosis in Spanish-speaking clients.
