By Marybel Rodriguez, CBS Miami June 10, 2021 A South Florida teenager is making a big impact on a local non-profit organization by volunteering her time to help differently-abled adults. Ashley Prats first started volunteering at the WOW Center in Kendall as a 12-year-old. Her aunt is a speech therapist working with adults who have developmental disabilities. She enlisted Ashley's help for one hour a week. "I help them conjugate words, I help them with tongue placement, eating food, and swallowing," Prats said in describing her role.
