A Self-contained, portable therapy and game case assembly having sliding and opening sections and compartments and portions of the therapy assembly which can be utilized together or separately is disclosed. The therapy assembly is provided for use with various symbolized or illustrated inlay and sliding sheets, for testing and prompting selected skills and associative thinking. The invention is provided as a coupled and portably transportable first and second subassemblies. The first subassembly is provided from outside or outboard to inside or inboard, when in assembled position, with a first sliding feature which recieves a sliding first transparent sliding member; a symbolized inlay sheet; a feature for securing a stationary member which receives an erasable board member; a dividing storage area secured adjacent and inboard or inside of the erasable board member; and a second sliding feature which receives a second transparent sliding member so that it can be positioned inside the divided storage area as a cover. The second subassembly is provided, outboard to inboard with a sliding feature which recieves one or more peg-board sheets; a first feature for stationary securement receiving a pivotable and symbolized multiple-door unit; second stationary feature receiving a transparent sheet; slot feature receiving a symbolized sheet; and a third stationary feature receiving an inboard wall panel.
