Accessible Datepicker & NVDA Support

for

Hello experts,

I built up a datepicker using bits and pieces from other datepickers. Is
there a way I can verify if that datepicker is compliant with USDOT-508 /
meets the WCAG 2.1.1 guidelines?

Here is the working example for reference: https://jsfiddle.net/j49gz3g3/4/

Some people in the testing team say that it is not compliant since NVDA
screen reader reads out the date along with the column/row number. They
claim it should read only the date and not extra information.

Is that true?

Thanks,
Nisar
