Like Booth said, upper body/arms lead the swing
Since she hits with no stride, you could have her front foot heel off the ground at set up, flex in the front knee, weight on inside of lead foot or big toe.
Have her practice the Elvis move while she keeps her hands back.
When you feel the lower half grab the upper half, it starts around the belly area, let the swing rip.
Something like the Georgia girl in black.
Can someone post her swing in motion?

Yes, for my kids who stride we called it the "inward turn and stride." For these kids, we really preach a short stride (3-6 inches) at an approximate 45 degree angle toward plate. In addition, I agree with having the batter landing lightly on the inside of that big toe while keeping body weight balanced throughout. Always tell my girls to "keep it in the middle" when talking about balance...not getting too far forward or too far backward.
