摘要：Emphatic behavior, understood like a class of behaviors, has been considerate necessary for the good establishment of interpersonal relationships. Presenting these behaviors sometimes requires professional intervention for them to be learned. Therefore, the objective of this article was evaluating a program for teaching these behaviors for children, in a clinical context. For elaborating the program, emphatic behavior was decomposed in intermediary learning steps. Teaching the identified behaviors was made in a gradual form, by playful activities projected for occurring in a positive contingence of reinforcement. Activities were developed to teach 9 out of the 25 intermediary behaviors identified. The children learned 7 of those 9 behaviors that were teached during therapeutic sessions. The results enabled identifying that, when teaching is programmed, learning occurs in a way to make it possible for the therapist to follow more frequently and intervene more accurately in that specific behavior that presents more difficulties for being learned and, this way; amplify the efficiency of the intervention. In addition, the explicitness of intermediary learning steps makes the choice, creation and adaptation of playful activities possible, which better attends the proposed objectives for each session, keeping children motivated and increasing the possibilities of learning the relevant of behavioring more emphaticly.
