You can increasing the frequency of her bathroom visits. And perhaps even have her wear her diaper to sit down on the toilet, last 5 mins on the toilet without diaper, and gradually increase that over the days or weeks until the diaper is no more. Hopefully that helps. Kind of awkward for us to think about sitting down with a diaper but could be a sensory thing for these kiddos. Good luck!
