We had the 18 month appt recently too. My DD wanted to pack the blocks away rather than build a tower. she says single words, but on her own time- she is not into mimicry or being a puppet. no animal sounds except for 'woof', she takes off her pyjama top / jacket if we undo the buttons and helps with other bits. she likes shoes, and will sit on her stool with her shoes when we are going outside (for us to put them on).

we weren't referred to anyone else after the appt.
