Insight Schools, a national network of  accredited, tuition-free online public high schools, finds many of its  students diagnosed with the disorder are thriving in its personalized,  flexible learning environment.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">According to the US Department of Health and Human Services, 2.4  million children between the ages of 12 and 17 have ADHD, and the  diagnosis of the disorder in that age group increased an average of 3  percent per year from 1997 to 2006. In addition, Dr. Russell Barkley reports in the book &#8220;<em>Taking  Charge of ADHD<\/em>&#8221; that 21 percent of teens with ADHD skip school on a  regular basis, 35 percent drop out before finishing high school and 50  percent experience sleep problems.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Students with the  disorder enrolled at Insight have found many of these problems are  alleviated with online education. Insight students are able to work at  their own pace, overcome distractions, receive more one-on-one attention  and ultimately get the sleep they need every day.<\/p>\n<p id=\"dvHeadline\">\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Teens with ADHD benefiting from online education &#8212; from PRNewswire.com Students say flexible schedule and support at Insight Schools help them overcome disorder PORTLAND, Ore., April 5 \/PRNewswire\/ &#8212; High school students who struggle with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) may only be a click away from a helpful alternative option.
