There is much detail within this study which merits further research, such
as the relationship between Social Representation Theory and Aesthetic
Theory. The researcher considers that the development of a
representational model of disability could resolve many of the conflicts
between disabled people and their non-disabled peers. This would
demand both parties to understand each side’s perspective. However the
underlying fear relating to disability must be tackled by integration and
education. As I said at the beginning of this thesis I was puzzled as a
child by non-disabled people’s reactions to me. I hope as an adult that I
have begun to help to understand the underlying reasons for people’s
responses to disability. I hope this study enables other researchers to
take a fresh and innovative approach to disability research.
