BOSTON A Suffolk County jury has awarded two (m) million dollars to

the family of an autistic boy who alleged he was abused at a private

school for autistic children in Randolph.

That's according to the family's lawyers, who say the jury yesterday

found the executive director, three teachers, a doctor and an

administrator at the Boston Higashi School responsible for the

physical abuse caused to Tedeman.

Tedeman's family says it discovered the abuse in 2000 and later

withdrew him from the school where he was a residential student for 14

years.

Lawler -- a lawyer for the school -- says a number of people

were found not negligent in the case.
