For the "Calendar" element, there is an accessible view option called "Appointment Overview (Accessible)." This contains hidden elements that are accessible only to screen readers. In these, date formats are formatted so that they are readable by screen readers. There is also a button—accessible only to screen readers—that can be used to create a new appointment.
