Summary An attempt to obtain a visual assessment of a five‐year‐old girl with severe learning difficulties using a picture test of visual acuity failed because the girl was unable to name or match any of the pictures. A teaching programme was then undertaken by the girl's class teacher, after which the girl was successfully retested some 4 months later.
