When developing an individualized education program for a pupil with dyslexia in accordance with NRS 388.419, the pupil’s individualized education program team shall consider, without limitation, the following instructional approaches:

2. Individualized instruction to meet the specific needs of the pupil in an appropriate setting that uses intensive, highly-concentrated instruction methods and materials that maximize pupil engagement;

3. Meaning-based instruction directed at purposeful reading and writing, with an emphasis on comprehension and composition; and

4. Multisensory instruction that incorporates the simultaneous use of two or more sensory pathways during teacher presentations and pupil practice.
