description Inclusive education is complex due to adapting the learning process to specific learning needs. Besides, some current national education models for inclusive education lack an agile, flexible, and collaborative methodology where all relevant participants, like parents, educators' instructors, and even information technology (IT) developers, can be involved. COVID-19 accelerated e-learning but established new challenges. This research method includes the test of a proposed scrum-agile learning methodology in an elementary education institute for three students with dyscalculia based on Scrum as an agile methodology proposed to adapt inclusive education processes. Among the benefits of the proposed methodology is the testing of the iterative design and application of an agile approach, quick adaptation, and formation of IT applications and contents. Also, the student's learning improvements were measured in this research experience, demonstrating that the proposed methodology supports inclusive education by improving collaborative interventions, flexible curriculum, attention to learning needs, IT integration, and instructor training. Thus, it can be argued that the proposed methodology can meet the new challenges of the evolution of inclusive education and national models, such as accelerated IT integration, collaborators' involvement, and specific students' attitudes and needs. This methodology can evolve to an 'agile and inclusive learning methodology'.
