S ummary . There has been, to the best of these authors' knowledge, no cross‐culture analyses of the attitudes of parents and teachers regarding appropriateness of occupations for deaf youth. This study was an attempt at such an analysis and compares attitudes at a school for the deaf in Italy and a school for the deaf in England. Attitudes pertaining to advising equally qualified deaf and hearing persons to train for 13 different occupations were assessed. There was no significant rater , or rater‐by‐country effects. There were significant differences between the countries, and the expressed advice to hearing and deaf persons. There were no significant differences between the mean advice to deaf people in England and mean advice to deaf people in Italy.
