Systems and methods for predicting problem behavior in individuals with developmental and behavior disabilities. A plurality of sensors are configured to collect multimodal data signals of a subject individual including a wearable upper body motion sensing device with a plurality of inertial measurement units (IMUs). An electronic controller is configured to receive output signals from each of IMUs and to model an upper body position of the subject individual based on the output signals from the IMUs. A trained machine-learning model is then applied by providing an input data set that includes multimodal signal data (e.g., including signal data from at least one IMU) and / or features extracted from the multimodal signal data. The machine-learning model is trained to produce as output an indication of whether a precursor to the problem behavior is detected and, in response to detecting the precursor, a notification (or alarm) is generated.
