Back to todayUnder the hood
The audience here has real accessibility needs, and the questions families ask (“does it cost anything, can she get a ride, when is lunch”) are exactly what people now type into an assistant. Both audiences want the same thing: plain facts, stated once.
The weekly activities are marked up as events, so an assistant asked "what is happening Thursday" can answer with the time and the room.
