Sounds like with other medical issues noted, she is going to have to train her muscles to hold steady, pull straight, and follow through.

Dry fire repitition and then add bullets...if it is anticipation you will note that with B&D drills.

She could be over gripping and squeezing with fingers low on grip just prior to discharge, get her to relax. Or at least relax the ring and pinky finger and see what happens.

Could be the gun (ergonomics), but you mention many, so probably not. I shot the M9 low, but had no problems with 1911s or SiGs, etc...
In addition to Ball & Dummy drills, snap-caps work well to both identify if trigger anticipation is the problem, and to help start correcting it. WHen I go to a static range I still mix a few in with one or two of my mags (because trigger jerk is still a problem _I_ have to some extent)
