In order to claim someone as a dependent, you must provide more than half of the support. So, if your son provides more than half of the support of your home, then yes, he can claim you and his siblings as dependents on his return.
Do be aware, if someone else is providing the support for the household, this may possibly affect other benefits if they are based on your income as the head of household. You would need to check with any state agencies that you may be receiving benefits from to determine if that would affect you or not.
