If he can't write legibly at all, and you can get the school or a licensed professional somewhere to indicate that, it should be sufficient, especially with the diagnosis of DWE. We homeschool (partly because the schools did not want to/weren't equipped to deal w/the 2E issues), so we didn't have the complication of having the school IEP disagreeing with what the private evaluation said when we applied directly to the College Board for accommodations. Still, the school is giving the keyboarding accommodation, so that history should help. I'd apply ASAP so that you have a chance he can take the talent search test with accommodations.

ETA: The absolute worst they can do is tell you that they need more information to approve him, so you are no worse off applying now than if you wait until you have more testing. It's not like you only have one shot at getting accommodations approved.
