Therapeutic exercise apparatus capable of being used by a physical therapist to initiate a number of different postural and equilibrium reactions in the body of a handicapped child with the goal of enhancing the child's ability to maintain balance and proper posture is disclosed. The apparatus consists of a hemisphere having a substantially rigid interior shell surrounded by a molded foam exterior. One end of the hemisphere is substantially flat and the other end is rounded. A removable cover located at the substantially flat end allows access to a hollow internal chamber within the hemisphere. One side of the removable cover is substantially flat and the other side has wheels secured thereto such that the cover may be separately used as a scooter. The cover is selectively attachable to the hemisphere on either side, the opposite side forming a portion of the substantially flat end such that the hemisphere may include wheels at its substantially flat end. A leg is also provided capable of detachable engagement with the cover so as to form a T-stand.
