They are Eliza Jennings employees from all professional disciplines, including nursing, administration, dietary, housekeeping, activities and maintenance. Supporters attend three days of intensive training on all aspects of the therapy: the founding principles; education on the pre-frontal cortex and how it relates to the therapy; how to assign Learners to appropriate levels of learning; and coaching techniques, positive reinforcement, and the role of the rest of the community in supporting the therapy.

Can an individual receive the therapy as often as desired, or in their own home?
SAIDO Learning has been determined to be the most effective when performed five times per week. It is most successful when performed in a residential community where older adults receive ongoing staff support from all disciplines. The therapy is currently not available in the home.
