Placements are educational and supervised. Students may support ASL enrichment, early-childhood programming, curriculum preparation, family-facing education, and program operations within their approved scope and academic requirements. Babble·ASL does not authorize students to provide independent clinical treatment, diagnosis, assessment, or other related services.
The gated staff portal hosts weekly scheduling and ASL programming downloads — flashcards, signed-song media, and required work authorization documents — once your placement is confirmed.
