The present paper is concerned with the problem of determining the rate of convergence of global attractors of the family of dissipative semilinear thermoelastic systems with variable coefficients
 $\begin{cases} \partial_t^2u-\partial_x(a_\varepsilon(x) \partial_xu)+\partial_x(m(x) \theta) = f(u)& \mbox{in}\ \ (0,l)\times(0,+\infty),\\ \partial_t\theta-\partial_x(\kappa_\varepsilon(x) \partial_x\theta)+m(x) \partial_{xt}u = 0& \mbox{in}\ \ (0,l)\times(0,+\infty), \end{cases}$
where
 $l>0$
,
 $a_\varepsilon,\kappa_\varepsilon$
and
 $m$
are regular enough functions, and the nonlinearity
 $f$
is a continuously differentiable function satisfying suitable growth conditions. We show that rate of convergence, as
 $\varepsilon\to0^+$
, of the global attractors of these problems is proportional the distance of the coefficients
 $\|a_\varepsilon-a_0\|_{L^p(0,l)}+\|\kappa_\varepsilon-\kappa_0\|_{L^p(0,l)}$
for some
 $p\geq 2$
.
