Are you looking to teach ASL or use ASL to teach in a specialized school or classroom? As for teaching ASL to college students, unless you're a full professor, you won't be making too much money. I'm an associate prof teaching special education courses and make about $30k a year teaching four 3 credit classes a semester. Nothing stellar, but it's not bad, either.

If you intend to teach at a school for the deaf or class for the students with hearing disorders, that amount varies greatly. I taught 7th grade English and social studies in a deaf program in Naperville, Illinois and made just under $58k a year. That was a unique school district and city, though. Most deaf ed teachers make scale to what is averaged within the surrounding school districts. There is no extra pay for working with deaf students.
