Well, I just sent my recommendation before I read  Mika’s outstanding recommendation. This person  even spelled it right, where I did not. I am glad that somebody was thinking about Accessibility because calendly is really cool.

I'm not sure exactly what kind of scheduling task you are trying to perform, but Calendly appears to be pretty accessible. I was able to set up and integrate my Office 365 calendar in to the tool, and then if I want to schedule a meeting with someone I send them my Calendly web link and they can choose an available time on my calendar and it will book the meeting including setting it up in either Zoom or Teams.

You can do a lot with the free plan and there are paid plans for more customizations and options.

You could also set up a shared Exchange or Google calendar, and then allow people to book available appointments with Calendly based on the real time availability of the calendar.

Doodle used to be accessible, but I am not sure it is any longer. The last time I tried using it, it was a nightmare.

Hello,
I have also had some issues with Doodle.  I found it to be accessible for a while, but the accessibility seems to have been broken, at least I hav not been able to use it successfully, either.
Best,
Suzanne
