The iterative process of reviewing interviews and, in turn, revising and reviewing coding schemas is known as taking a constant comparative approach.

Price through use of initial coding, and refining of those codes through axial coding, arrived at four broad themes of Crip Spacetime: Space, Time, Cost, and Accompaniment. These four themes were revised as the specific codes they arose from were revised.

Accompaniment Subcodes

Because of the limitations of the Disabled Academics Study Price notes that there should be a fifth theme labeled More to note that more dimensions of Crip Spacetime could emerge in future research.
