Hi Samara,
You may want to try Google Calendars. I have used it a bit with Jaws, and
so far is the most accessible online calendar I have seen. However, I have
not done a full assessment to determine what the limitations are. The
biggest drawback is that it only works with the Firefox browser, not
Internet Explorer.
So, if you're using Firefox, do the following to get started.
1. Go to www.google.com/calendar
2. If you have a Google account, sign in. If not, click on "create an
account"
3. After creating an account and getting on the calendar page, Go to
"Settings" link
4. On the Settings page, go down to the Default View drop-down box and
change to "Day"
5. Go to the Save button and activate
6. To learn more about using the calendar with a screen reader go to the
link http://www.google.com/support/calendar/bin/answer.py?hl=en
<http://www.google.com/support/calendar/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=152654>
&answer=152654 It gives explanations, and has all the accessible keyboard
shortcuts
I would be curious to hear what others have tried using.
