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. 

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.

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

Constant Comparative Approach

- Conditional time 
- Duration of disability or illness

- Arrangement of bodyminds or objects in a space
- Designated physical or online space
- Metaphorical space
- Mobility in space  (both physical and digital)
- Past or future spaces
- Surveillance in space (both physical and digital)

Space Subcodes

The subcodes Price included under Cost were:
- Budget 
- Economic cost
- Emotional cost
- Missing things and losses
- Negotiating for accommodations or access
- Self-scrutiny
- Trade-offs
- Use of personal resources
- Who pays for what
- Cost-Other
