+# Accessibility
+
+<p class="description">Learn how the Scheduler implements accessibility features and guidelines, including ARIA semantics, keyboard navigation, and localization of accessible labels.</p>
+
+## Guidelines
+
+Common conformance guidelines for accessibility include:
+
+- Globally accepted standard: [WCAG](https://www.w3.org/WAI/standards-guidelines/wcag/)
+- US:
+  - [ADA](https://www.ada.gov/) - US Department of Justice
+  - [Section 508](https://www.section508.gov/) - US federal agencies
+- Europe: [EAA](https://commission.europa.eu/strategy-and-policy/policies/justice-and-fundamental-rights/disability/european-accessibility-act-eaa_en) (European Accessibility Act)
+
+[WCAG 2.2](https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG22/) has three levels of conformance: A, AA, and AAA.
+Level AA exceeds the basic criteria for accessibility and is a common target for most organizations, so this is what we aim to support.
+
+The [WAI-ARIA Authoring Practices](https://www.w3.org/WAI/ARIA/apg/patterns/grid/) provide valuable information on how to optimize the accessibility of a scheduler component.
+
+## ARIA structure and semantics
+
+The Scheduler uses WAI-ARIA grid and tree roles to expose its structure to assistive technologies.
+
+### Week and Day views
+
+The day-time grid is exposed as a `role="grid"` with three logical rows:
+
+|     Row | `aria-rowindex` | Content                                                                                                                                                                                             |
+| ------: | :-------------- | :-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+|  Header | `1`             | Day column headers — `role="columnheader"` with an `aria-label` containing the full weekday name and date (for example, `"Monday 26"`)                                                              |
+| All-day | `2`             | All-day event cells — `role="gridcell"` with `aria-labelledby` pointing to the column header. The visible "All day" label is `aria-hidden="true"` and referenced via `aria-labelledby` on each cell |
+|   Timed | `3`             | Per-column time cells                                                                                                                                                                               |
+
+The grid also exposes `aria-colcount` for the number of visible days and `aria-colindex` on every cell.
+
+The time axis (hour labels and grid lines) is `aria-hidden="true"` as it is decorative.
+
+### Month view
+
+The month grid uses the same `role="grid"` pattern with `aria-rowcount`, `aria-colcount`, `aria-rowindex`, and `aria-colindex`.
+Each weekday header cell carries a `role="columnheader"`.
+
+When `showWeekNumber` is enabled, the week-number labels are `aria-hidden="true"` but each day cell in that row references the week-number element via `aria-labelledby`, so screen readers can announce it.
+
+### Mini calendar (side panel)
+
+The mini calendar is exposed as a `role="grid"` with an `aria-label` (localized — default: `"Calendar"`).
+
+The grid body is wrapped in a `role="rowgroup"` element. Each day cell consists of a `role="gridcell"` container (with `aria-colindex`) wrapping a button element.
+
+The button element carries:
+
+- `aria-label` — the full formatted date string
+- `aria-current="date"` — on today's date
+- `aria-selected` — on the currently active (selected) date
+- A roving `tabIndex` — `0` on the active cell, `-1` on all others
+
+Weekday column headers carry a `role="columnheader"` with an `aria-label` containing the full weekday name (for example, `"Sunday"`).
+
+### Events
+
+Each event element has an `aria-labelledby` that composes the day column header ID and the event's own title element ID, so a screen reader announces the day context alongside the event title.
+
+Multi-day events are rendered once as the main (visible) element and additionally as invisible placeholder elements in the spanned cells. The placeholder elements carry `aria-hidden="true"` so assistive technologies see only one announcement per event.
+
+The resource color indicator inside an event uses `role="img"` with an `aria-label` describing the resource (for example, `"Resource: Sport"`). When no resource is assigned the label falls back to the localized `noResourceAriaLabel` value.
+
+Recurring event icons are `aria-hidden="true"` as they are decorative.
+
+### Agenda view
+
+Each day group in the agenda carries `aria-labelledby` pointing to its day header cell. The day header cell itself has an `aria-label` composed of the weekday name and day-of-month (for example, `"Monday 26"`).
+
+### Main calendar region
+
+The main calendar view area is rendered as a `<section>` element with a localized `aria-label` (default: `"Calendar content"`), providing a named landmark region that assistive technology users can navigate to directly.
+
+## Keyboard interactions
+
+:::info
+The key assignments in the table below apply to Windows and Linux users.
+
+On macOS replace <kbd class="key">Ctrl</kbd> with <kbd class="key">⌘ Command</kbd>.
+
+Some devices may lack certain keys, requiring the use of key combinations. In this case, replace:
+
+- <kbd class="key">Home</kbd> with <kbd><kbd class="key">Fn</kbd>+<kbd class="key">Arrow Left</kbd></kbd>
+- <kbd class="key">End</kbd> with <kbd><kbd class="key">Fn</kbd>+<kbd class="key">Arrow Right</kbd></kbd>
+  :::
+
+### Calendar grid
+
+The Week, Day, and Month views implement a `role="grid"` with full arrow key navigation between cells.
+
+**Week and Day views** expose three logical rows: the header row (day names), the all-day row, and the timed-events row. Arrow keys move across all three rows.
+
+**Month view** exposes the header row and one day-grid row per week. Arrow keys move between the header and each week row, and between individual weeks.
+

+| ---------------------------------: | :------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+|  <kbd class="key">Arrow Left</kbd> | Moves focus to the previous column in the same row                                                                                                                                                                         |
+| <kbd class="key">Arrow Right</kbd> | Moves focus to the next column in the same row                                                                                                                                                                             |
+|    <kbd class="key">Arrow Up</kbd> | Moves focus to the same column in the row above. In Week/Day view: from all-day row to header, or from time-grid row to all-day. In Month view: from a week row to the one above, or from the first week row to the header |
+|  <kbd class="key">Arrow Down</kbd> | Moves focus to the same column in the row below                                                                                                                                                                            |
+|       <kbd class="key">Enter</kbd> | On a day-grid or time-grid cell: starts event creation for that date or time slot. On a header cell: activates the day button (navigates to that day's view)                                                               |
+
+#### Tab sequence
+
+All grid cells have `tabIndex="0"`, so the <kbd class="key">Tab</kbd> key flows through the grid cell by cell in document order. When a focused cell contains events, <kbd class="key">Tab</kbd> enters the events inside it before moving to the next cell.
+
+### Resources sidebar
+
+The Resources sidebar uses the [MUI X Rich Tree View](/x/react-tree-view/) internally and inherits its full keyboard behavior. See the [Tree View accessibility page](/x/react-tree-view/accessibility/) for the complete keyboard interaction reference.
+
+<kbd class="key">Space</kbd> additionally toggles the visibility (checked state) of the focused resource.
+
+### Menus and popovers
+
+|                          Keys | Description                                                             |
+| ----------------------------: | :---------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| <kbd class="key">Escape</kbd> | Closes the View Switcher menu, Preferences menu, or More Events popover |
+|  <kbd class="key">Enter</kbd> | Activates (opens) a focused event in the More Events popover            |
+|  <kbd class="key">Space</kbd> | Activates (opens) a focused event in the More Events popover            |
+
+## Live region announcements
+
+The current month and year label in the header toolbar is wrapped in an `aria-live="polite"` region.
+When a user navigates to the previous or next time span (for example, clicking **Previous week**), the updated toolbar label is automatically announced by screen readers without requiring focus to move.
+
+## Event dialog
+
+The Event Dialog is a non-modal dialog (`aria-modal="false"`) that floats next to the event that opened it.
+
+### Read-only dialog
+
+- Uses `aria-labelledby` pointing to a title with `id="${schedulerId}-draggable-dialog-title"`.
+- The Close button carries a localized `aria-label` (default: `"Close"`).
+
+### Editable dialog
+
+- Uses `aria-labelledby` pointing to a title with `id="${schedulerId}-event-dialog-title"`.
+- The event title input is labeled with a localized `aria-label` (default: `"Event title"`).
+- The color picker group has an `aria-label` (default: `"Event color"`), and each individual color option button is labeled (for example, `"Select green as event color"`).
+- The Recurrence tab panel uses `role="tabpanel"` with `aria-labelledby` pointing to its tab.
+- The recurring scope confirmation dialog radio group has an `aria-label` (default: `"Editing recurring events scope"`).
+
+## More Events popover
+
+When a month cell has more events than can be displayed, a **"X more"** button opens a popover listing all events for that day.
+
+- The popover header element carries an `aria-label` with the full formatted date (for example, `"Monday, May 26"`).
+- Each event inside the popover uses `aria-labelledby` that composes the popover header ID and the event title element ID, so screen readers announce the day context alongside the event title.

         occurrence={occurrence} 
         date={day} 
         ariaLabelledBy={`PopoverHeader-${day.key}`} 
+- Event items have `role="button"` with `tabIndex="0"`, and can be activated with <kbd class="key">Enter</kbd> or <kbd class="key">Space</kbd>.
+
+## Preferences menu
+
+The Preferences menu button exposes `aria-haspopup="true"`, `aria-expanded`, and `aria-controls`.
+Inside the menu:
+
+- Toggle items (for example, **Show weekends**, **Show week number**) use `role="menuitemcheckbox"` with `aria-checked`.
+- Time format options use `role="menuitemradio"` with `aria-checked`.
+
+## Localization of ARIA labels
+
+All user-facing accessible labels are provided through the `localeText` prop and can be customized.
+The following keys are specifically relevant to accessibility:
+
+```ts
+{
+  // Main calendar region
+  calendarContentAriaLabel: 'Calendar content',
+
+  // Event dialog
+  closeButtonAriaLabel: 'Close',
+  eventTitleAriaLabel: 'Event title',
+  colorPickerLabel: 'Event color',
+  selectColorAriaLabel: (color) => `Select ${color} as event color`,
+  radioGroupAriaLabel: 'Editing recurring events scope',
+
+  // Events
+  noResourceAriaLabel: 'No specific resource',
+  resourceAriaLabel: (resourceName) => `Resource: ${resourceName}`,
+  hiddenEvents: (count) => `${count} more..`,
+
+  // Month view
+  weekNumberAriaLabel: (weekNumber) => `Week ${weekNumber}`,
+
+  // Mini calendar
+  miniCalendarLabel: 'Calendar',
+  miniCalendarGoToPreviousMonth: 'Show previous month in calendar',
+  miniCalendarGoToNextMonth: 'Show next month in calendar',
+
+  // Header toolbar
+  previousTimeSpan: (timeSpan) => `Previous ${timeSpan}`,
+  nextTimeSpan: (timeSpan) => `Next ${timeSpan}`,
+  openSidePanel: 'Open side panel',
+  closeSidePanel: 'Close side panel',
+}
+```
+
+See the [Event Calendar localization page](/x/react-scheduler/event-calendar/localization/) and the [Event Timeline localization page](/x/react-scheduler/event-timeline/localization/) for the full list of available keys and instructions on how to apply them.
+
+## Known limitations
+
+### No arrow key navigation in the mini calendar
+
+The mini calendar in the side panel exposes `role="grid"` and a roving `tabIndex` on the active date, but arrow key navigation between day cells is not implemented. Clicking a date or using the previous/next month buttons are the only supported interaction methods.
