Dear Michelle D. Smith

RE: Michael Bermin
Date of Birth 06-30-97

This letter introduces Michael Bermin. He is three years old and lives with his parents David and Judith Bermin in Barboursville, WV. I have been Michael's pediatrician since June of 1997. Michael has been seen for general well child visits. I have treated him for ear infections and bronchitis in the past as well. Michael’s present health is excellent.

Michael’s mother brought him in for a visit, as she is concerned that Michael is not speaking yet. She stated that he only says Momma and Dada on rare occasions. She stated that he never talks, instead gestures for anything that he wants or needs. I performed a hearing screening here in the office. Michael appears to have normal hearing. After listening to Mrs. Bermin’s concerns and based on Michael’s age, I found it necessary that he receive a more thorough evaluation.

Michael is being referred to you for a complete Speech and Language Evaluation. I feel confident that you will provide Michael and his family with the best care and advice. Please feel free to contact me if there is any information you might need. I have enclosed Michael’s complete medical history.

Sincerely,

Dr. Michael D. White
