Team members each holding a separate cog wheel that all fit together

You are not alone. Everyone is in this together. By creating accessible digital content, your impact will carry forward to other future students and team members down the road--even beyond the current school year. Below are descriptions of the roles of your fellow team members. > **"...it's gonna take a lot of patience and time and working with a lot of different people to get digital content put together for someone with a visual impairment."** > > -Student ### Your Student Your blind or low vision student is the expert of their visual impairment. Get to know them and their needs, preferences, and dislikes well, but take care to not make them the center of attention when it comes to inaccessibility! ### Student's Parent/Caregiver Parents/caregivers also have expert information about your blind or low vision student and how they experience visual impairment. ### Teacher of Students with Visual Impairments (TVI) The TVI is the specialist on the educational team as it relates to how students learn with a visual impairment. You will likely interact with the TVI on a regular basis to make sure that your learning activities and materials are accessible to your student. ### General Education Teacher Colleagues Your colleagues may have already worked with your blind or low vision student. They may have ideas on good ways to make certain accommodations to learning activities for this student. ### Technology Professionals Specialists in technology may include those from your school/district working in Information Technology, Assistive Technology, Instructional Technology, and other domains. They may have the technical know-how to quickly troubleshoot sticky technological situations. ### End Users Adults who are blind or have low vision and have experience with digital access may be hired to test the accessibility of digital content prior to dissemination. They may encounter accessibility miscues that others might not catch. ### Administrators School and district administrators--like principals, superintendents, and directors of special education--are positioned to make decisions that may impact accessibility. Their actions, such as creating and enforcing policy and selecting and sourcing curricular materials and technologies, have the capacity to enhance or hinder digital access. {% hint style="success" %} [The Community page under Yes I Can Statements](/learn/yes-i-can-statements/community.md) expands on your role and the roles of others. {% endhint %} ***
