The Derbyshire Language Scheme (DLS) is a widely-used structured method to aid in the teaching of both expression and comprehension to children with difficulties in learning their first language. This study examines the teaching strategies for comprehension within DLS em ployed by three speech therapists, with a variety of children ranging from the two-word to four-word level. The results indicate that a range of techniques were used by the therapists in response to the children, and these are discussed in relation to their inclusion in a computer-aided learning system to help speech therapists.
