Would it be worth trying to get an IEP for direct services to address the handwriting and written expression problems?

He does not qualify for an IEP. This year, with his current teacher, the 504 has worked. If the teachers next year follow it, it should be okay. If they don't, I will fight, but by then, my son's anxiety level will be through the roof. He's very much a perfectionist and his grades and the GPA at the top of his report card are the end-all for him. Being marked down for penmanship or not getting a second/third pass at written work would be devastating.
Just to be clear...it's not dh or I who put this much pressure on his grades. He had a unit in school about college and what kind of GPA he will need for a scholarship. With his anxiety, he worries about having enough money to live, much less go to college. It's difficult to get him to go easier on himself. We're working on it.
