The objective of this research it was to analyse the social representations of people with disabilities in the Spanish media, as a constitutive factor of social reality, social representation. It was examined, quantified, analysed, and interpreted, how people with disabilities are represented in a recent period, through a retrospective content investigation, which allows us to visualize and quantify that reality, facilitating actions focused on promoting equality, that which should always prevail in a just and equitable society.
