Can they write? My mother was aphasic (when I was learning to talk so I often don't make sense when I'm anxious :-) If they get frustrated and you can figure out another way to communicate that isn't damaged, that might help.

I would just try to treat them with compassion and try to meet their needs as best you can and talk/behave normally, etc.
