Abilities Office

The Abilities Office hopes to partner with you as you matriculate toward your educational goal at CSU.  We are a welcoming campus consisting of a diverse student body.  We are here to assist you by making sure any barriers that exist caused by a disability will be accommodated and that you have access to all of our programs and facilities.

The Abilities Office provides services and accommodations for qualified students with verified disabilities in accordance with provisions of Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) as amended. Accommodations are not retroactive. Once a student meets and establishes accommodations with the Abilities Office, accommodations will be applicable moving forward from the time Accommodation Letters are provided to professors.  Accommodations are unable to be applied to issues prior to the establishment of accommodations in the current academic term.

We also invite you to visit our counseling center for more assistance.  Please Click here to request a student counseling appointment

Hello! My name is Nicola Milton.  I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I love what I do and am passionate about helping/serving others, in any capacity, hence my life's motto- "I overcame to help others overcome". 

I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology degree from DePaul University and my Master of Social Work degree from the University of Illinois at Chicago.

As the Assistant Director of Abilities Services, I am committed to empowering students to advocate for their needs to achieve their educational goals and reduce potential disruptive barriers.

My professional interests include mental/emotional/spiritual health, advocacy (empowering individuals to pursue their needs and rights), and supervision (supporting professionals in their development). I strive to be a positive, strength-focused individual, leaving others feeling encouraged and inspired. 

I look forward to “embracing, engaging, educating, propelling, and elevating” during my time at CSU!
