Deaf children are exceptional children who experience physical disabilities of hearing, which affects a lack of confidence in career planning. This problem highlights the role of school counsellors in planning students' careers by providing self-understanding and the correct environment through guidance and counselling services. This study aims to describe the differences in career planning for deaf students with and without counsellors in schools. The samples of this study were 96 students from13 high schools. The results showed that there is a significant difference between the career planning of deaf students in high schools with counsellors and those without counsellors at school. The profiles of career planning for deaf students, based on the presence or absence of school counsellors, was discussed further. © 2019, Primrose Hall Publishing Group.
