Deficit theory is the theory claims that those who use nonstandard speech are less capable of abstract thought. It is the theory or perspective in which the students are being defined basing their weaknesses instead of their strengths. This theory suggests that the reason why people are poor is that of their intellectual and moral deficiencies.
