If she has good oral musculature strength and you are not attributing the drooling to low tone in the muscles, you may want to consider the possibility of poor oral sensory awareness. I would refer to the OT to discuss sensory issues and collaborate together on increasing her oral awareness. She may not even "feel" or sense that she is drooling. I had a similar situation and together, the OT and I have been able to make the drooling more manageable.
