# accessibilityValue

The accessibility element’s value.

```
@property (strong, nullable) id accessibilityValue;
```

## Discussion

The accessibility protocols for roles that support values typically redefine this property to take a more specific value type. For example, the [`staticText`](/documentation/AppKit/NSAccessibility-swift.struct/Role/staticText) protocol uses <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Foundation/NSString> values, and the [`progressIndicator`](/documentation/AppKit/NSAccessibility-swift.struct/Role/progressIndicator) protocol uses <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Foundation/NSNumber> values.
